Netbooks typically do not come with virus protection, that is why it is imperative that you download a virus protection program even before you begin surfing. You should not pay for a virus protection program since there are virus programs that are offered for free for home use.
Avast

Avast is well-known for offering adequate virus protection to home computer users on these fronts: email, instant messaging, network, outlook email, peer-to-peer file transfers, and internet surfing.

After registering, you will be emailed a license key that extends your virus protection to one year.
