1. re itunes. To transfer everything, including playlists: - uninstall iTunes, if you've already installed it on the new computer. - copy your old iTunes folder, containing the XML library files and everything to your new music folder (I think it should be under C:\Users\USERNAME\Music for Windows7 but you can check online). This is the file that holds all the metadata/playlists/counts/etc - re-install iTunes - if you keep the actual music files in a different folder, go into the iTunes, copy that to your preferred location, then go into the iTunes prefs and tell it where that folder is.
2. re: antivirus. If you are happy with AVG, by all means continue using it, but back when I was using it, it was a gigantic pain in the ass and sucked system resources like no other. Microsoft actually makes a free antivirus product called Microsoft Security Essentials which is pretty good and doesn't clog up my computer too much.
