Windows 7 & anti-virus

[exIBM]

My install of Windows 7/PDC went very well... except that my anti-virus crashed afterwards and won't re-install. It knows it's not going on a supported o/s.

Anybody got one that still works?

NOD32 3.0? Haven't tried it though.

[Ambroos]

NOD32. Use the 30day trial. Works.

I'm running KAV2009 and it's running flawlessly with Windows 7 for me.

avg free installs fine..all modules work except for active shield which kinda defeats the prupose dont it :cry:

[Windows7even]

BitDefender never ran stable on my Vista SP1 PC even.

Symantec Antivirus 10.2 Build #276 works fine

[quicking]

nod32 3.0 works fine.

The anti-virus part of the free Comodo Internet Security suite runs fine (both scan en pro-active protection) on Windows v7.

I haven't tested the firewall part, because I don't need it. Please be aware that you'll need to run the setup program in Vista compatibility mode, else Comodo won't be installed.

Windows Live One Care may work.

Norton Internet Security 2009 installs perfectly and seems to work, but after using it for a few mins Windows 7 freezes - it happened twice, so I took it off, and loaded Avast free instead.

So far, perfect.

avira premium security suite works very fast so far

Windows Live One Care may work.

It does not work at all... if you upgrade it will fail within seconds of your first boot. If you try to install it, it will tell you that it doesn't recognize the o/s.

So, just like the Vista beta testing days, One Care doesn't work. Will Microsoft supply a version that works when the Win7 beta test formally begins?

Avast works... at least, from what I can see. I haven't tried the manual scan, but the on-access protection is working for me.

i can back this up... avast is working fine while AVG kept giving an error/bubble that the active protection was not turned on

I heard Common Sense 2009 beta works pretty well. Though, I don't have a copy of Windows 7 to install and test, so I can't confirm it. :p

Oh... so you still need an antivirus on windows7? :)

No, you dont need AntiVirus, just leave UAC turned on :p

Thats what the damned things there for.

A bit off topic but i've been avast user for past couple of years. they have a bad leak in webscanning service now which ticks me off just wondering if antivir/aviras free software is able to do mostly the same as avast and is as light on resources for most part too ?

[small_dong]

Avast works... at least, from what I can see. I haven't tried the manual scan, but the on-access protection is working for me.

i used avast too~~ :blush:

[DPyro]

I used to use Antivir, but the update site is ungodly slow (and it pops up an ugly ad), so I switched to Avast.

I have used both manual and automatic scanning; I can confirm it works.
