I have a HP Laptop, it has Windows Vista, its about a year old and its in great condition. I want to make sure my laptop stays this ways so I have been looking around for a good Anti-Virus software to prevent any type of virus, spyware, malware, etc. from damaging my laptop. I do not have a lot of experience or knowledge when it comes to the difference between Spyware, Malware, virus, and all the other stuff that we need to protect our computers and laptops from, so I am hoping that someone would help me choose whats best for me at this point.
What are the top 2 Anti-Virus programs that I can look at? Do they all protect from the same issues? Do they all protect from Malware or Spyware and all the other dangerous things that can damage my laptop?
I would appreciate as much help on choosing the right anti-virus software for my HP Laptop, money is not really an issue but if there is a software that doesn’t cost so much and it does the same job I will look at that as well.
Thanks for your help fellow Yahoo’ers

Free: AVG or Avast.
Paid: ZoneAlarm Suite or Kaspersky
Dedicated antispyware:
Malwarebytes or Spybot S&D
Norton is the best! it scans everything even every website whan you search by Google, Yahoo
and it even scans viruses through email or download.
AVG blows, if you want free, the Microsoft Security Essentials is as good or better than any. If you want to pay…then Eset, Kaspersky, there’s a couple others, but avoid Mcafee and Norton
