[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1062548"] Not necessary on a Chromebook. Installing your favorite ad blocker ect such as ublock in the browser will help negate issues there and watch what you install via play store or Linux apps. Keep in mind all apps are sandboxed on a Chromebook. The firewall is set for you and OS hardened. Chromebook is by far one of the most secure you can get out of the box. Even if you run Linux apps they are run in a container/sandbox. Keep this in mind as they all run connected to the same container, meaning if you do come across something in one app it can effect the others, but not the Chromebook itself. The only security I use which is more than enough, is ublock in my browser and a VPN. [/QUOTE]
