You have to download it but it’s free.
I’ve found it takes care of itself without hassling me. I think when a shop installs one it’s so they can make more money setting it up for you.

I uninstalled the security program this morning, but I’m still having trouble. I don’t like MS word programs, but I need something, and tried to download OpenOffice.org, but the laptop won’t let me. I also need to install the Dragon program, and I’m afraid it won’t let me do that, either.
I tried to find MS Essentials but every time I clicked, I seemed to be going in circles. Then it gave me the downloads for Win7 and Vista. Nothing for Win8.1.
I used to know how to go in and change the security settings, but now I’m afraid I will disable the wrong thing.
CFIDS. It’s such a joy to have. </sarc
