computer without antivirus software. If you have inter-office computers
that do not connect to the internet then you can use them without
installing antivirus software on them. These computers will be safe from
hackers, viruses, malware, adware, and Trojans.
If you have a computer at home that plays only the games that you buy on disc you do not have to put antivirus software on it. Make sure that this computer does not have any connection to the internet just in case you buy a disc that has a malware on it.
