My Mrs has just bought a new laptop preinstalled with Vista Home Premium.
I've always used XP so it's a bit of a mystery to me at the moment. I'm looking through some of the new features (new to me anyway) and have come across Windows Defender. Is it something I should leave running? Does it hog resources etc?
I've installed the latest free Avast anti-virus on the laptop which seems to be ok, and I've turned off all the scanners except for the web one as she doesn't use the other features it covers.
Is there anything in Avast that I should tweak or just leave it to do its job?
