Computer security suit

I recently changed from ATT to Xfinity,  ATT had free McAfee security which has discontinued. 

Does Xfinity offer a free security program for customers?  Out computer is connected by ethernet.

from a Xfinity gateway.

Located in Calif.  SF bay area

No. They used to offer Norton but that was stopped likely for financial reasons. They do have what they call "Advanced security";

But it's not the same / not enough. It is still recommended to install an anti-virus program / security suite on your computer. If you have a later flavor of a Windows O/S installed, it has a very good one built in.
