Anyone have a new / updated list of internet security software that is compatible with Win 7?
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and McAfee came preinstalled on it as a demo. Everything seems to be running fine…
btw Bitdefender also claims to work on Win 7 but I have found it extremely unreliable allowing a lot of unwanted creatures on one of our PCs – any comments?

Hi people there,
I saw the list of antivirus software compatible with windows 7 and I found the Kaspersky antivirus out there.
so… if Kaspersky antivirus 2009 is on the list, it means that Kaspersky internet security 2009 could be also compatible, isn’t???
I have my Kaspersky internet security 2009 and it’s not compatibe… always appears the messege asking to turn on Kaspersky internet security.

how can I solve this problem??

Installed WIN 7 over Vista. Works Great!

When I place the PC in sleep and then wakeup, The network backup drive (P) has a red “X” on it in My compuer and I cannot access it unmless I reboot. Any suggestions? It worked OK in Vista.

The Geek needs to update this article to include the FREE Microsoft Security Essentials.
see this link- http://www.microsoft.com/secur.....fault.aspx

This is FREE from Microsoft. No Subscription. It is low impact, and works well with Windows 7. Don’t waste any time with 3rd party AV software garbage. You will regret it. THey are all invasive and compromise performance. Microsoft Security Essentials is clean, and doesn’t impact performance.

Symantec Endpoint Protection starting with version RU5 (11.1.500x and above) works and is supported for Windows 7. Spybot Search and Destroy, also works fine.
