Just ok Internet security with antivirus. I installed and promptly removed. Windows defender does what this does (generally) and takes less overhead.
Not a fan of "free" that's really there to sell you a subscription in 6 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really liking this keyboard. Only gripe is the cloth like wrist support (seems like it'll get dirty fast and be hard to clean).
That's a small trade off for a keyboard and mouse that'll work on up to THREE devices. On my primary machine I use the unifying adapter, on another two I use the Bluetooth. Switching devices is easy via dedicated buttons, and you can auto switch by using logitech flow (being on the same network is required, as-is Bluetooth on additional devices). You can even use it on pc and Mac (has both sets of key labels)!

This thing is a beast! (And weighs as much as one too). Really great on max settings in the half a dozen games I've tried. Tobii eye tracking is great add-on for the OS, but not that useful to me in games. Comes with a little bloatware, but that's easily removed.
If you want a 1080 is is a great option.
Also, running multiple VMs has good performance.
Do yourself a favor and buy a laptop backpack. Laptop plus ac adapter is 12-13 pounds!

I need to mount it on my gate which is approximately 70' from the interior of the closest room in my residence. the signal has to pass through the garage and then thru the door/wall from the garage into the residence. As a result will this function ?

Really depends on your Wi-Fi. You could get a Wi-Fi repeater to extend the signal closer to the gate.
