Buying from saveonlaptops.co.uk - what "add ons" are worth getting?

    As the title says, I'm wondering what add-ons are worthwhile getting.

    Do I even want the free security they offer? "Bullguard Internet Security" for a year is the free offer, or I can spend €2 extra on "Webroot Internet Security Essentials" (or €12 for the "complete" version). - I don't need any of these, do I?

    They also have Norton for €35, but I definitely don't want that - heard too many negative reviews.

    I'm thinking about ignoring the lot and just relying on other means of security. Is that the right thing to do?

    I doubt it matters, but I'm getting this; http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Z570_1091049.html

    avast OR avg, you can only have one anti-virus or they'll be finding each other.

    There's a few browser add-ons that you can install depending on what you use that are handy to.

    Cheers. I ordered yesterday, so I'll sort that out on Friday when it (hopefully) arrives.
