New laptop still in box. Recomendations for Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware SW?

Hi,

Xmas present for daughter (high school senior) - new laptop. Could you please recommend Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software that I should install before santa arrives in a couple of weeks?

Thanks

Hello,

Three are 4 good ones to choose from:

Avast: http://www.avast.com/

Avira: http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php

AVG: http://free.avg.com/ww-en/homepage

Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

All of them are good and reputable antivirus softwares. I recommend Avira, Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials.
