I have used Avast on all my machines for quite a while and never had a problem

come on....really? So no need for McAffe or Norton types? Sounds too good to be true.

A lot have changed since you last bought a laptop, so take a look at what those changed might mean to you (e.g. detachable tablet like screens, optical character recognition) in your use of the tech, and how it might assist in making your life easier (at least the part you spend in front of a screen)
Stay as far away from McAffe and Norton as you possibly can. Avast and AVG are ok, but, no longer needed. I used AVG for years before Windows 8 came out and I'm glad I don't have to keep updating the free version and keep getting prompts to upgrade etc. Windows 8 and 10 have Windows Defender and Windows Firewall by default and they are more than enough and work just fine.
