It is recommended for all computers to have a reputable, commercially-available anti-virus software installed.  Most Most reputable branded new computers by default have their own anti-virus software integrated into the operating system. Some new computers come with a trial copy of anti-virus software, but when it expires the computer becomes vulnerable. It is important to use a non-trial version of an anti-virus. In addition, all personally-owned computers should be regularly scanned recommended to always keep the operating system or software up to date for best security.

In addition, it is recommended to regularly scan for spyware with a legitimate anti-spyware program such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
