Can someone please!!! tell me once and for all the absolute best combination of free software I can use on my grandmother's laptop? Let me explain first. I've already visited what feels like thousands of pages for advice and none seem to agree on any one combo.

Part of the problem is that her laptop is a presario v6000 with only 478 mb of aval. ram. So brand new with all unecessary stuff disabled, it's still running at 64% physical memory. I just need a decent free antivirus and a spyware program that don't use much memory and are free as she doesn't have a dime left right now to afford anything else. That includes upgrading the ram right now. The vista program is the vista basic 32 bit os.

Any help would be appreciated right now as I am going out of my mind with this and just want to get her set up so she can enjoy the internet.

Here are 2 free ones that are very good that I always highly recomend.

!. For Antivirus> click this link. (http://free.grisoft.com) download the new version 8.0

2.For Spyware> click this link. (http://www.superantispyware.com) this is one of the best spyware program and I always highly recomend it.

This is all that you need to protect your computer (adware is covered under the spyware program).
