Just bought Laptop (Virus protection)
Whats best free virus protection, Spyware protection and any other i'll need. Got Mcafee through aol on desktop but won't let me put it on another computer and not paying twice. Free ones would be great links would really help too its running vista basic if need to know. Help would be great never used vista
Cheers

AVG free is the best I've used recently. I rate it higher than Avast due to ease of updating, performance and interface.

Free virus protection is poo, think, you dont get anything for free these days.
Im running Avast 4.8 Pro and windows defender. The best i have used so far.
Best for pay for something you know that is going to protect your private info on your PC
