Which security software is best for laptop?

[bedlumrode]

What is the best free security software I can get for my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545)? Anti-virus, malware, spyware etc, I'm not sure of all the different software needed, for best security.

advast is a great solution.

Does avast include malware, spyware and whatever else is needed for good security?

Bitdefender was rated the best free antivirus program. Couple that with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and you're set.

The download page for malwarebytes is "currently closed".

1) Download and Install Free Version of AVG-

2) Download Trial Version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Install.

I recommend buying Malwarebytes Antimalware full version.

3) Some PUPs and harmful data could still bug you even though antivirus and antimalware softwares show positive results in full system scan. Download this .exe file and scan your system (no installation required)

I use the same tool that saved my computer where traditional antivirus betrayed me.
