Yes. Windows 8 has a built in antivirus which is known as windows defender..

type defender in the start menu and you will be able to access its settings.

The best for windows 8 is defender itself..

Windows Defender

At the Start Screen, just start typing defender and the Windows Defender icon will pop up.

Click on it and you will be taken to Windows Defender.

It is nearly identical to Microsoft Security Essentials.

It's the only anti-virus program I use, but I also bought Malewarebytes.

Thus far I haven't noticed any 'conflicts?' between the two and my box seems to be quite peppy.
