can anyone recommend which are the best freeware ( no demos please) virus/spyware and other similar type programs that work well on a netbook with vista.
-
Avira Antivirus FREE
Superantispyware FREE
MalwareBytes FREE -
And if you're searching for a good firewall, I would recommend Comodo Firewall which is light on resources too. -
Avira 9 Free
Malwarebytes Free
Superantispyware Free
Spywareblaster
Leave Windows firewall and Defender turned on if your netbook came with a Windows OS -
Go with what McGrady said..that's what I use on my Mini 9 Netbook!

Not sure if the same kind of anti virus work for both laptops and netbooks though?
shouldn't really matter though.
hope this helps -
As already stated... go for the Avira! It's super good and free.

other than that, avast antivirus would be an option, or no antivirus at all, depending on the usage habbits, a weekly scan might be enough, realtime not needed. but that depends on the user, of course. -

Currently I've Zone Alarm and Pandacloud but the access is very slow and the icons need several seconds to be displayed on the screen after I logged in. -
read the posts above. If you have Vista, leave the Windows Firewall on. as for AV, use the free Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).

Free AV from Microsoft, I've installed it on a few older systems around the office and it has done a great job, give it a shot. -
