My mom bought a new, inexpensive (slow) laptop that came with vista, and the thing can barely run just the vista. I tried to delete all the extra crap that was installed on it, but regardless when she installed McAfee on it, it got so slow it was nearly useless. Any suggestions for a antivirus program thats not going to make this thing shit the bed? ---

I also recommend you find out what type of memory it uses, and check [slickdeals.net](http://slickdeals.net) to get a memory upgrade… did she get a laptop with just 512MB RAM? its probably DDR2 667 or 533. AVG is a great antivirus that uses little system resources. +1 ---

I’m pretty sure it only has 512, it was Toshiba’s least expensive one at ~$700. She really only uses it for the internet and iTunes. ---
