    My old computer died and I needed a nice inexpensive one. This computer is nice and I didn't need to have any antivirus subscriptions

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop. There is a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection software included. In order to keep the program active after the trial period, you will need to purchase a product key. You will not need to download any additional software. You can also choose to use the Windows 10 Defender virus protection software for free, just uninstall McAfee before activating Windows Defender, as there can only be one active virus protection software on the computer. For 2018, Lenovo retained its place for a second year as the best laptop vendor:

      It sounds like you may be inadvertently making contact with the touchpad while typing. You can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. Lenovo
