I've just bought a vista...
I was looking for ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky but the man in the store said that Norton 360 is the most widely used? Apparently other companies don't have the licence yet?
Are Spyware Blaster, SpyBot S&D and other freeware programs good to use for Vista or only XP? My parents have an XP laptop.
Thanks for the help.

On my HTPC/server I've been using AVG Free for about a year. Kaspersky 6 was too bloated and slowed some networked processes down. We use/support Kaspersky at work for managed customers and encounter similar issues. Often it has little to do with how fast the PC is, but rather what they're using the PC for. The networking monitoring filters/services in Kaspersky just aren't any better than the other guys. So I would recommend straight Kaspersky AV but not the internet security suite.
Of course, not doing things that would get you infected in the first place would preclude the need for anything more than AVG free .
Plus right now vista has some security because not all malware is fully compatible (Mainly ones that use old unmaintained rootkits, Such as sony's DRM.)
Be kind to your computers: Keep them away from Norton and McAffee.
