Software to avoid

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5 is not supported. Use 8.7 instead.

ESET 4 64-bit - eating memory while downloading (untill PC stop respond) when instaled on windows 7 64-bit. Confirmed by multiple users and it should be avoided untill ESET fix that.

Works just fine here on 64-bit.

Ok, that means you have working ESET with this conditions:

1. You have Windows 7 64-bit RTM
2. You have ESET Smart security 64-bit
3. You have any download manager
4. You can leave PC (download manager) to download 10-15GB of data and memory doesnt fill up?

Are that all correct?

Becuse we have here: https://www.sevenforums.com/network-i...tml#post239371 a few members with same problems with combination of ESET 64, W7 64 and downloading lots of data via download manager, and after uninstaling ESET everything is working

Kaspersky beta for windows 7 seems to work a lot better than KIS2009. If you activate it as a beta it gives you about ½ year for free

I made the mistake of trying to install Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 from the CD copy I use with Vista Ultimate. It seemed to install, told me I needed an update, got the update and when it installed promptly crashed Win 7 RC1 32bit. A repair didn't work and I had to do a complete re-installation.

However the beta version trial Sven mentions works just fine, hard to find on Kaspersky's site but Win 7 offers a link to it if you don't have an AV program installed.

Fair enough...suppose I didn't read your post correctly then as I do not use any download managers.

To be fair though, you did not mention "download manager" in your post.

You stated:

The bold secton could mean anything and does not reference a "download manager" of any kind.

I have a bittorrent app always going and download many things using Opera without issue, regardless of file size.

Yes, my bad, i didnt mention download managers

System Mechanic 9 does work in Windows 7 however it corrupted Backup and Restore. Required a re-install to get it working again.

Also Norton Ghost 14 will not install at all in Windows 7. It does not recognize the operating system.

i've just installed windows seven and i used auslogics registry defrag with no problems thus far.
