If you truly want to protect your new notebook, I would go with Spyware Doctor. It is only $30 and it is widely considered to be one of the best antispyware tools available as it has won several awards from major computer publications and websites. Plus, I have used it for over two years and have not had a single infection.
Honestly, free tools don’t work that well after all, there is a reason they are free.
If you are interested in reading more about Spyware Doctor, here is a good website that gives a pretty thorough review of it as well as a couple of others:
Avast is a good anti-virus

Avira is also a good anti-virus

Windows Defender is recommended in addition for real-time spy-ware protection.

Remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC
Kaspersky antivirus – remove virus, trojan, spam, spyware. Very good I have been used it for years.
30 days Trial version at http://www.kaspersky.com/downloads

You don’t need to "buy" security software, there is plenty of very good, free programs that can be downloaded. Here are just a few that I have used.
