Hi,
My friend just bought a new laptop and has very little knowledge about computer's :D , Can you guys please recommend some good Anti - Virus software which will keep him protected from every sort of viruses whether it be malware , trojan or Win32 and is completely secure from every possible bad virus sites [Total Internet security].
With the laptop ,he is getting a discount with all the Anti virus softwares [ Avira , Kaspersky , Norton , Bitdefender etc.] but doesn't know which one to buy.
His Laptop specs are:
Toshiba satellite
4GB RAM
Intel centrino 2 (2.40ghz)
512 dedicated VGA

He was recommended Kaspersky for viruses , spybot - search and destroy for malwares , AVG Anti spyware for spywares and AD-Aware for Adwares and now is totally confused :s.

He wants to play games in his Windows Vista 64 bit and does not want to slow down his laptop and as well wants The best antivirus to be installed in Windows Vista 32 bit so he is completely protected.

He is also having Registry mechanic to clean his PC and is trying every way not to slow down his PL [Personal Laptop :D].

And he used Partition Magic to cut down his drive into two so he can install 2 OS , is there any drawback by doing this?.

Thanx in advance to whoever helps , I am new here so I cannot rep you guys as in other forums :D.
 
As chevy suggested, does he have any interest in getting a mac as this I'd basically a mac forum, though we do deal with running windows on a mac a fair bit.

That said I also use pc machines. I use avg or avast with comodo firewall. There is no such thing as total Internet security on a pc sadly, assuming you are connected to the net anyway.
