There is no questions you will need some kind of virus protection if you are running Windows in your machine. McAfee software will definitely do the job. But I think any of the major ones would be sufficient.nMcAfee software is installed easily on my Vista laptop. But after a reboot, I started noticing my laptop started running sluggishly. I have a HP with AMD Turion and 2GB of memory, so it is not a dog by any mean.nThe thing is, it is hard to tell how well your virus protection software is working, after all its role in life is running in the background and intercepting bad stuffs that came from the internet.nMy thought: Recommended, but you will need at least 2GB of memory for an average machine.
