    Yes. Kaspersky, Norton, and BitDefender are currently working with their full capabilities (AV, HIPS, Firewall, Proactive Defense, SONAR, KSN, etc.) on Windows 8.

    Microsoft's built in antivirus is not as good as paid antivirus engines ....better to use a good antivirus software with windows 8 .... i prefer kaspersky internet security ...but i haven't tested if it works with windows 8 or not ..and kaspersky is going to launch new version 2013 which will be compatible with windows 8 ...so just wait 4 it ..
