Solved Which Anti-Virus Do you Use with Windows 7?

[Zagadka]

or we can say you have to pay for the privilege to be in the club

Or to be non-cynical (which I think is false in this case), you could say that those programs have been tested and certified... but as I said, I don't think that is the case.

I'm using AVG and it's working fine on mine.

Hi,

I use Kaspersky Technical Preview for Windows 7 (free licence for beta version). It works great. There is only 32-bit version available, but it works fine on my Win7 64 bit.

I made some performance tests and it seems that this beta version is faster that regular Kaspersky 2009 on WinXP. Very promising.

Avast Here,
Plus manual runs of Malwarebytes and Spybot S&D as required

That's what I use as well. Works great for Vista and Windows 7. Only down side is that I can no longer schedule a boot scan but, hopefully, they will upgrade their 64bit and we will be able to achieve this again

Sorry for my Dumbness but why Avast and ESET are not listed here
Windows 7: Security software providers

Perhaps they didn't want to pay Microsoft for advert?

Me. I use none XD. I plan on buying NOD32 though.

EDIT

Bought NOD32. I will be installing soon.

Eset NOD32 v4.0.424 64bit for me. Works perfect.

Using Kaspersky 8.0 Technical Preview for Windows 7, 32, had troubles with the beta of 7, but with the RC seems to work fine......

Very Much

Eset NOD32

There is only one AV that I trust: Kaspersky! I use KIS 8 (not the beta)!

 

[Martin]

I've tried already Eset SS, Kis 7-8, Avira, Avast,Avg, but definitively Eset/Avira are the best for me

I have now tried Avast and Avira (both the free edition), but they both fail the last 2-3 tests on this official site:
eicar | THE ANTI-VIRUS OR ANTI-MALWARE TEST FILE

I don't think it looks too good for a viruskiller not being able to see a test virus that everybody knows of.

Have tried Kaspersky 2009 IS and Kaspersky 8 beta for Windows 7, but it cost some performance and boottime. Kaspersky could do all the tests though.

How abot ESET and the testsite?

 

[bhuulo]

F-Secure cleaned all the files, even compressed and zip in zip and cleaned it or rather deleted it... I think I'll stick with F-Secure ATM

 

[canesfan4life]

I just ran that test with avast.. and it passed each test. Not sure what happened with your test Sven, but I had no problem.

 

[Sven]

Avast did not let you download any of the 8 files?

 

[canesfan4life]

That's correct

 

[Sven]

Your Avast installation is better than most others then. Here Avast let me download the last 3, but gives error when trying to unpack them. Which is too late IMO, as I don't want these files on my PC in the first place.

 

[Mercurial]

thats why you use eset nod32
