@Uthman-bal Welcome to HP Community!
There are thousands of viruses, software programs, and security threats that can harm your computer, allow private information to be accessed by others, or make the computer perform slower. It is important to protect your PC by installing antivirus software and keeping the antivirus definitions up to date.
Step 1: Check your computer for installed antivirus software
Many HP computers come with Windows Defender or trial versions of other antivirus software apps already loaded. Before installing antivirus software, use one of the methods below to see if antivirus software is already installed and enabled on your device.
NOTE:If your computer came with a trial subscription to McAfee VirusScan or Norton Internet Security, HP recommends following on-screen prompts to renew your subscription. Renewing your subscription helps protect your system against new threats.
