I am using Avast Free on my old XP laptop.
I am concerned about the threat of key logging so I am thinking of using Zemana AntiLogger Free.
I am wondering if Avast has similar protection so that I wouldn't need additional from Zemana.
I don't want to over load my old laptop unnecessarily.
Would Zemana conflict with Avast Free?
Are there any other free anti loggers which would be better than Zemana?
Would this improve my security for online banking or public WiFi?
-
Zemana AL is compatible with Avast & well regarded. It would improve your security, but I'd suggest using a VPN for public WIFI - there are good free ones.
Avast provides a hardened browser, but I don't use it so can't comment

Could you recommend a good free VPN?
-
depends - if you want a full VPN that will encrypt all apps including Skype, etc.. then CyberGhost is probably recommended most often. But I find it a pain to connect - it takes too long with the free option. If you just want to encrypt your browser - I like the Zenmate addon - it is fast and reliable. But with either option you need to make sure WebRTC and Flash are not leaking your real IP address - it's an easy fix in Firefox - but you need an addon for Chrome. you can use whoer.net (extended tab) to confirm your IP address is not leaked
