I just ordered a laptop for my friend's kid. 10 years old,first computer.
His parents wouldn't know micro-soft from micro-phone.So I'm taking on the responsibilities of setting his rig up (and probably maintaining it for a while).I'm Definately not the right guy for this,I'm a noob.
I ordered the same laptop as the kid's,it will be an upgrade for me.
When I get his computer,I will load the OS and programs on it.I know the kid will be surfing (on a cable modem) in no time. I need to think about antivirus and malware.I have had McAfee on my computer for a few years and have been OK as far as virus/malware goes,but the thing is a ponderous resource hog.I am going to go with Avast with my new one and take a more active role in managing the viruses and malware.
I think his computer is probably better off with a pay program antivirus for a while...no one will be there to keep an eye on things constantly.
What do you recommend he goes with for antivirus,malware? I don't need to be seeing his laptop every week.
