Antivirus review (whats been working and not)

I have a Full subscription to N360 v3.0 on my XP install and am very happy with it, the only reason I don´t use it on my win7 install is that the compatible beta/tryout expires after 14 days, as soon as they release a compatible full version I will be changing to it and not only because I bought a two year subscription.

The best reason to not use N360 is that it is the worst program EVER WRITTEN FOR ANY PLATFORM EVER.

Uninstall it immediately, before it destroys your computer - which it will, because it is more deadly and dangerous than any virus.

I recently tried Windows Live Onecare, a friend told me to download it after my PC was acting up and AVG free wasn't finding anything wrong. It immediately picked up a trojan and got rid of it. It has a 90 day trial and so far its been going well on my machine with xp, doesn't hog resources like AVG free did. However its not compatible with windows 7...aroo?

People are asking what is working with WINDOWS 7... why are you even talking about XP? Focus... why not tell us about your dog while you're at it?

MSE works the best for me but I will use N360 until my subscription ends cause it's slightly better than MSE. I actually feel like changing to MSE now but I don't want to end up feeling like I wasted money.
