Q about protecting a Vista laptop running iTunes
I have two Vista laptops that I inherited from my daughters after they graduated college and would like to use one to run iTunes connected to my stereo system so I can access radio streams, which requires a network connection. The rest of my home machines are Macs on a wireless network with a Verizon base station.
I'm not versed in keeping a Windows machine virus-free when used on a network. I'm assuming even if all I do is run iTunes the laptop could still be attacked over the network.
Is there a good solution to keeping the computer protected without getting involved in endless anti-virus subscription fees? Anyone have experience using the free tools offered by Verizon for FiOS users?
