Which antivirus is best for win7

[Xander]

ah ok - i know what you mean now...

i use ati tray tools to tweak my graphics card, and that needed an unsigned driver to run, i worked out how to install and run the driver, but found that i didn't actually need the low-level driver running in the end to do what i wanted to do...

Oh I eventually got around it... and then found that every overclock setting I tried ended up slower.. so I just left it at base

For all those interested I'm using McAfee (I know, I know) but the beta edition compatible with Win 7. Dunno if it's already been mentioned in this thread but beta.mcafee.com the professional edition is free there, just need to sign up and help out a bit.

Using a Beta version of any anti-virus software is counter-intuitive.

As for anti-virus products from other companies, even though some don't officially support Windows 7 yet, many install and function just fun if using a Vista version of the product with the appropriate 32 or 64-bit version.

Do some research on each company's forums to see what the community response is. I'd really avoid McAfee, especially a beta from them.

I am already on the company's forums, I'm a beta tester remember? I give helpful feedback. Not too many problems so far couple blue screens I saw mentioned but not on mine. Also I've used McAfee products for the lifetime of all my home/work computers and I have never had an issue, I suggest operator error for the problems seen. Everything is working so far from firewall intensity to complete scans and parental controls (who uses those...). Also the virus definitions are up do date in par with Regular McAfee 09 so there are no worries there.

Which AV are you using ATM?

 

[twick]

I use avast.
I tried AVG, but it made a pop-up whenever I connected to wi-fi or used any internet app.
That was annoying.

 

[Skilz]

Eset nod32!

I have to agree. I use NOD32 and it's mever given me a problem. I also use Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware.

 

[Bovah]

Norton 360, Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, and SUPERAntiSpyware.

 

[ocadsm]

I´m testing NIS 2009 for 30 days. Too many things to configure, some that not everyone knows what is (Me :huh and i did not notice performance loss. I believe I am well protected anyway I will test others posted here and see what the best for my daily use.

Avira Free Anti Virus,
works fine on WIN7, (Not only) and has one of the best virus recognition engine, also virus database is one of the best
All language versions from Avira Download Servers

 

[Murdear]

I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials, it found on my External HDD, some virus that my Kaspersky and AVG detected.

 

[DC187]

I'm using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i with Patch2, seems to do the trick nicely

 

[nate42nd]

I have been without an AV for months now. I have done some on-line scans and found no problems. However I need to get back in the habit.

Is Avast still working good for Windows 7? I have liked Avast in the past.

 

[Brian1031]

According to Avast version 4.8 is certified for Win 7 avast! antivirus earns the Windows 7 logo

As for me I'm using AVG Free Edition version 9.0.698 and have noticed no issues with Win 7 thus far.

 

[BashirSabeel]

Right now I am using and tying out avast! I was using AVG Free before but though Id give avast! a go by reading the other posts. I do like the AVG interface and not so much of the avast! but avast! has good features.
