Yes you will need a good anti-virus! But you will not need to spend a dime to get one... There are a lot of very good FREE anti-virus programs out there.

I use AVG8.0

Also Spybot search & Destroy

Both of these ae 100% FREE & work well together!

An antivirus program is necessary, but many of the paid versions are cumbersome and they slow down your computer.

There are free versions that are reliable and have little impact on the speed of your computer.

One of the best is AVG free, but of course there are others.

You can get them from CNET's download.com.

Don't buy one. AVG Free Antivirus is a good one and it is free.

Be sure to completely uninstall any 30/60 day trial Antivirus Programs that may be pre-installed by Dell.
