    I just got a new laptop and spent quite a bit on it. Understandably I would like to protect this as much as possible. My PC is on its last legs and sometimes spontaneously knocks off when on the interent and im thinking this is down to a virus or such it got off the internet. Anyway, any advice on some pretection software would be much appreciated.

    Alot of people bad mouth mcafee but i bought a 36 month subscription to it because i found mcafee to be brilliant.It updates with the latest virus definition files daily.I run AVG alongside mcafee even though i have been advised under no circumstance to do so but i find it is a solid combination. I also have ad-aware on my laptop for added protection but i find that ad-aware can be sometimes volatile if you don't know how to properly seeing it as it can find suspicious files in the system 32 registry.I deleted these such files before and crashed my operating system.Anyway i recommend a combination of these three software programs for protection but i am well aware most people will disagree.
