Hi,
Apologies if this information is elsewhere but I couldn't find it.
I have just purchased a new laptop and don't want to get infected.
There is nothing installed on it (in the way of anti virus, malware etc)
What would you recommend I install to prevent any possible attacks.. I ask as I know there are some applications that could do more harm than good if I install them.
Many thanks in advance.

If you have Windows 10, then you have its Windows Defender, which is considered a very robust and capable anti-virus/anti-malware solution, and getting better all of the time.
If you want advice on choosing an anti-virus product, please see this topic over at Bleeping Computer.
Good luck and have a great day; and, don't forget about instituting a regular and thorough backup strategy! 
Regards,
