anti malware programs for laptop

Hi

for my sister's laptop for university so far i have installed antivir primium and spyware blast and using windows firewall any other useful antimalkware programs that can be used on low spec laptops?

thanks in advance

If she's in a situation where friends are occaionally being actively infected, I might add BOClean as an additional active measure. Otherwise, about the only thing I'd add is Ewido without the active guard installed and let the trial convert to the free version to use for an occasional demand scan as desired/needed.

I am with BlueZannetti on this. You can't do better than BOClean.

I was not aware that Avira was developing a new program that included a firewall. No mention is made of it on their website.
