Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Kaspersky is great. Some of their add ons slow the system intolerably so be careful. But they've got the best stable of solutions and they;re tough.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Free avg
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Got free virus protection software from Best Buy with my purchase. Works perfectly
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Personally, I use Avast! Antivirus. It's free and simple to use. Just don't click on the links to buy Internet Suite unless you really think you need it. For malware/spamware, I recommend Spybot - Search & Destroy. It's also free. I haven't needed for a while, though; I pay attention when I'm searching or surfing so I don't click suspicious links. And Avast has caught a few potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that tried to slip by me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I like Norton Internet Security
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have been using AVG free for years. They let you try their pro version for 30 days. But I go back to the free version. No issues. No anti virus software is perfect. I'm even off the cable grid so I'm using my laptop for TV since there are tons of locations that allow you to watch almost whatever you want. Just don't download anything - especially if the site tells you that you have outdated software. Always use AdBlock on your browser (I'm using Chrome which has an easy install of AdBlock). You can go to HP and update any device driver software that runs the devices installed on your laptop - such as the video card, USB ports, wireless modem, and so forth.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I went with the "Best of Breed" Kaspersky Internet Security 2015. It has been known to bog down other computers due to its indepth scans, but the HP Envy is a beast and you don't even notice it working in the background.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Malware byte is the one I like on all my computers. The free version is able to take care of most of the items.
