The only upgrade to Vista Ultimate is by purchasing the DVD...whether it be
by download or from a physical store.
And the only reliable site to download it from in my opinion is the MS site
.....anything else is an unknown factor...
The MS upgrade site has detailed instructions on how to download...and
install ..as well as save a copy of Ultimate.
But once you do have it installed I suggest you Image your Hard drive to an
external HD.
Kapersky Internet 2009 is a very good anti virus suite...but there are free
ones like AVG or BitDefender to name 2 that are good as well.
I assume you have Vista as an operating system on the HP at the present
time??
