okay, I have a netbook that needs proper antivirus protection. I don’t want you to suggest Microsoft
security essentials or one like it. I just want advice of if I can somehow install my antivirus cd to my netbook?

find a frien with a cd drive and a lot of time and a flash drive. make an image file from the disk. put the image on the flash drive. you want daemon tools lite from the link below. move the image file from the flash drive to your pc somewhere. mount it with daemon tools. you are done. this works with any disk by the way.

The point of a nebook is "the net" So just download kaspersky or NOD32 the only 2 worth paying for. Or buy a external dvd drive which you may need eventually for something like reinstalling your OS. Avira is pretty good free AV.

Try symantec.com or whatever you want to use. Download the software directly to the netbook.

If security essentials is not good for you then try Avast, it is the best one. You should try this one definitely.

Microsoft’s Security Essentials, which has been a favorite anti-malware application for a while and it’s free, unobtrusive, and it doesn’t slow your PC down, but now it’s even better with the new 2.0 release, which adds network filtering, heuristic protection, and more.
Just to be clear and direct with you: we absolutely recommend Microsoft Security Essentials as your anti-malware / anti-virus utility over any other option—and how can you argue? It’s totally free!
New Features in 2.0
Here’s all of the new features in the latest release, which make it even more of a must-download:
* Network Traffic Inspection integrates into the network system and monitors the traffic at a low level without slowing down your PC, so it can actually detect threats before they get to your PC.
* Internet Explorer Integration blocks malicious scripts before IE even starts running them—clearly a big security advantage.
* Heuristic Scanning Engine finds malware that hasn’t been previously detected by scanning for certain types of attacks. This provides even more protection than just through virus definitions.
These new features make MSE on par with other anti-malware applications, especially the heuristic scanning, which has been the only complaint that anybody could make against MSE in the past—but now it has it.
Disabling the New Features (Though You Shouldn’t)
If you head into Settings –> Real-time protection, you can remove “Enable behavior monitoring” to disable the heuristic scanning, or uncheck “Enable Network Inspection System” to remove the network traffic filtering.
Limiting CPU Usage
We can’t remember if this is a new feature or not, but you can head into Settings –> Scheduled Scan to reduce the CPU usage during the weekly scan—normally the weekly scan only starts when you’re not using the PC, but if you sit back down on the PC while the scheduled scan is going, performance will be less impacted with lower CPU usage.
Again, you should download this new version. It’s excellent. Note: you should make sure you only have a single anti-virus utility installed at a time.
