I have a Gateway laptop that I reformatted and reloaded Vista without the McAffee antivirus that came with it. Could not believe how much faster it ran without the antivirus installed. Its not my main computer so if it gets a virus, not big deal. I wouldn't recommend this on a computer with important information on it.

Install NOD32 from ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection. Even tho your laptop isn't your main computer its going to be a headache when you do get a virus. Theres no way you won't get one if your online any length of time. NOD32 does not slow down your PC at all. Zero....its nothing like Norton or McAfee and works a hell of a lot better.
