I'm surprised it doesn't come with at least 90 days free anti virus/security .. or trial versions of them??
I'm sure my aunts new laptop came with a years worth, and my daughters came with 90 days..

It was part of the preloaded software - they hope you will just pay and keep their program when the free time is up.

Our is a Compaq and aunts is a different brand. Can't recall which one though.
