couldn't agree more dave....
exactly happend with comodo....
tested it and most of the funtionality (well at least to me) didnt work
tested it with some leaktests (didnt work either...)
have downloaded the new beta and will check it out though...
I am using the Kaspersky release for W7 and I'm quite satisfied, no memory load, no bugs that I can spot and ... it's a Kaspersky so I'm virus free :-D
Im using the latest version of avast (4.8home edition) without any problems
I'm using NOD32 v4 beta. No problems with it up to now.
Installed the Kaspersky trial and it is causing consistent blue screening. Fun part is, when I try to remove it, uninstaller crashes. This is just wonderful!
FWIW, I can confirm that SuperAntiSpyware and Trend Micro Internet Security are not compatible (both work perfectly with Vista).
Note that Trend is particularly squirrely: Originally, I just deactivated it using MSCONIG to prevent all the Trend Micro services and processes from starting at boot time. That seemed to solve the problem, but I kept getting 'reference-by-pointer' BSOD's periodically with no indication of the faulting process. Since Trend wasn't even running, I kept thinking it was a video driver problem. Eventually, I did a total uninstall on Trend Micro and haven't had a single BSOD since. Guess that even if the Trend processes/services aren't running, the mere presence of their drivers causes problems.

Eset Smart Security Beta 4 works like a charm.
Eset Smart Security v3, Comodo and Zonealarm (tried a couple of versions), all crashed my computer.
