Does HoloLens have an Anti Virus on it?
Before IT will allow the HoloLens to play on the network, they want to know if it has any virus protection. Like Microsoft Security Essentials or whatever built-in. I looked through the control panel and found nothing. Is it in there? How can I show them?

Hi Tony,
Here is an official statement regarding antivirus software on the HoloLens device:
Microsoft HoloLens runs applications written to the Universal Windows Platform, which are curated and delivered via the Windows Store. As such, there is no mechanism to download and run arbitrary code containing malicious payload.
We'll update the HoloLens documentation to address this question, but for now please forward this statement to your IT department.

Is that also the case in the shell if an end user accidentally opens an infected document from OneDrive or a browser?
