i just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista and i need protection for it. i dont want to use McAfee or Norton because they use too much of my system’s resources.
i have heard that there are several free programs that will protect my computer real-time as well as McAfee or Norton will.
i always select a best answer.
try AVG. they have a free version of their antivirus software and its pretty good. also they offer a free spyware program. find it here

Goto http://www.geeksjunction.com to find the free antivirus in the download section
Avast followed by Antivir. I find Avast the best, and no nag screen.
I think Norton is a best anti virus.it is remove all kind of spy ware and virus.

AVG is a GREAT free antivirus solution. I run this on all my systems!

I use AVG & Avira, both good programs, have a look @ http://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/ for a list of free software for antivirus, antspyware, firewalls etc. Links on there to all the programs listed.
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
