Answer #1

Hardware doesn’t do anything but click on and off a million little switches and send electricity to other parts of the hardware. Its software that determines your level of security. This involves your internet security settings, any anti-virus programs you have and also your router settings. Don’t confuse hardware and software dude.

Answer #2

brand as a whole has nothing to do with how secure your computer is…

but, you might get a free 1 year subscription to AVG with a HP and a free 1 year subscription to Norton with a dell..

this would make the HP more secure and less chance of infection than with the Dell ;)

always ask/read what the extras are your getting with it.

Answer #3

The only way to avoid a computer virus is with anti-virus software (along with firewalls and other protections built into the operating system)…

The brand of computer doesn’t matter.

Answer #4

I would get a mac.. you could do anything and it would almost NEVER get a virus. other ones are okay.. I don’t know that much.. I just know that macs are the bomb

Answer #5

It depends what sites your going too.

The brand has nothing to do with it -_-
