Any pc you purchase might desire to be based on what you will use it for. in case you're into picture arts than you will choose a working laptop or pc that has a huge tricky force and the final ram speed. If all you pick it for is cyber web or common homework then any pc will do. maximum agencies get you with the extreme costs yet basically provide you slightly at a time, e.g. one pc could have the final pictures card yet no longer good reminiscence and so on, and in case you pick each and every of the upload-ons you pays the cost. So lower back, counting on what you pick it for, seem for the only that suits your desires and nonetheless has an outstanding cost. i'm a MAC and consistently would be. If i will propose a good pc it is going to likely be that. i be attentive to it somewhat is expensive yet you do pay for high quality.

If you want a freebie, go for Avast, it offers more than AntiVir (no spyware protection) and AVG (no rootkit protection). It's very similar to the pay-for version and will auto-update and protect you in real-time (keep most viruses and spyware off your pc) but you'll need to run scans manually - just open the program interface and click the 'Scan' button.
Use one only:

AVG: http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-e...

To remove McAfee you might need the McAfee Removal Tool:

Don't forget you'll need a good firewall. Comodo is very popular but can be a pita to use. OnlineArmor is far more user-friendly:

Oh... I hate McAfee, I had it and it is terrible, here is a really great FREE one I use! http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
The website link gives you the download, and also the registration link.
When you download it, its a trial, but you can still get a FREE key when you register it to keep it forever, FOR FREE! (ok I said free enough times lol.) The key expires after about a year, but you can get a new one by re-registering again.
