[ale] [OT] Need to lock down a Windows laptop

Hi all-

Off-topic for the list, but I know there's tremendous knowledge and experience here when it comes to tightening a Windows machine.

I've got my daughter's laptop dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu.  I've encouraged her to use Ubuntu as much as possible, but realize there are some programs that are not able to run on Linux at this point (tried Wine and others).

So for the times she does log in to Windows, I want to have up-to-date anti-virus installed and am looking for some advice on what to use.  Also, any other software that would be good to install to help keep the nasties off.

Thanks!
