new hp laptop: adding the appropriate protective software

Hello Been reading throughout the day which software has the best reviews and thus far I have added Pale Moon and of course Malwarebytes.

The computer came with McAfee's that is currently installed for the antivirus. So my question would be, which would be better. I already found out the hard way that Window's 10 is too big for this wee lil thing. :-D I will use my laptop mainly for writing papers and possibly netflix and twitter. So, No WOW or anything like that will be on it.

Here are my computer Spec's :

Windows 8.1

Processor: Intel Celeron CPU N2840 @ 216GHz 2.16 GHz

Installed Memory: 2.00 GB 1.98 GB usable

System Type: 64 Bit OS, x64-based processor

I have 8.45 GB's left.


Thanks for your time.
