    antivirus


    up untill now ive been running bitdefender antivirus for about 2 years on xp and vista but now ive switched to windows 7 ive came to find out that my much loved and paid for bitdefender wont cooperate with it.

    i know this has been covered a million times but what is a good av i can use untill bitdefender release a version to work with wndows 7? i have tried quite a few already and they dont sem to want to work on windows 7,all my other programs and accessories work fine and i wldnt like to have to go back to vista purely for security.

    A lot here are using Avast, Avira, and AVG without problems. I myself have been using Avast since 7000, and have pretty much zero problems with it.

    Ive also tried BitDefender with 7 and it caused that my computer only could start in safe mode. I'm using Avast! Professional and have used it since i switched to 7. Ive had no problems at all, all though i have AVG as backup if there should be any problems. The pro. edition cost a little, but you can also get it in a free home edition on avast! website.

Is Microsoft Security Essentials + MalwareBytes Anti-Malware a good A/V solution? What about Norton 360 or Kaspersky? Whether i pay or not isn't a factor. I would like an AV with a good UI and as high detection and real-time protection rates as possible.
