Title: new laptop
Post by: becca32428 on December 21, 2006, 05:30:30 PM

I am getting a new laptop for christmas (no secrets at my house) and I am wondering about virus protection. I have MacAfee on my desk top and I am not sure if I can run it on both without paying again. I know there are lots of good free ones out there but in order to get them I will have to log on the internet with out protection, as you can see I am not very smart about these things so..what to do? thanks.

Log on with whatever computer you are using and burn to a CD AVG Free. You will be glad you did. Then install yo your new laptop BEFORE connecting to the internet.

(The McAffee is only for one machine, by the way.)
