What is the best anti virus software to get?

What is the best anti virus software to get?

I am getting a new Dell laptop. I am spending about $1,400 on it and want to make sure it last and remains fast. I want to get a good anti virus software for it but don't want it to slow my computer down, but I do want it to fully protect my laptop from viruses and hackers. I am willing to pay money for it so whatever the best anti virus there is is what I want. I will have windows 7 professional on it as well.

    Norton and Malwarebytes together are the best bar none. I've been using them for years. Norton360 I would recommend. Malware is free but you can get a better version for some $$$.

    Look them up. Norton has found high threat virus' on my computer and Malware too. I use Norton for my internet security and Malware for scanning my computer. They both are updated almost everyday, so there very reliable programs.

    Hope this helps
