    What virus/spyware program to get for 7 64?


    What do you guys think is a top of the line virus/spyware program for 7 64?

    Ideally I'd prefer a free one...

    I use Kaspersky 2010

    For free AVG i think would be one of the best,but i havent tried it on Win7 yet.

    For a free antivirus these two are the best in my opinion:

    Avira
    MSE

    A better method of protection though is to sandbox your apps. These methods cost money but are far superior to antiviruses:

    Sandboxie
    DefenseWall

    Exactly. MSE is light-weight, effective and best of all FREE.

    Defensewall is not for 64bit.
    Best free AV IMO is Avast and MSE.

    +1 for MSE. I don't run it but if you're after a free program, it's the one to grab

    Dinesh, I would like your expert opinion. I have 3 licenses of Norton 2009 still unused (planned to install when I got all computers up and runnign 7) but I am now running MSE and I am pretty happy with it. I heard good things about NAV2009, in oposition to N360, which I have now and think slows everything down.
    Should I stick to MSE? I think it is running just great.
    Tks
