Zickar Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I will risk sounding like a noob here and suggest you use AVG !! I use it with Spybot and Antivir taskmanager and I never had a problem but of course I'm still on XP ...

sjaak327 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Avira Antivir wasn't working for me on Win7 64x. Mcafee Viruscan enterprise was working on 32 bits, but on 64 it was faulty, resulting in IE8 crashes. Currently using avast on 64 bit, seems to be working without a hitch.

Typhoon87 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 AVG works fine on 64 bit only issue is left clicking on the system tray icon does not load the main manager screen. I have to right click and say open or click on the desktop/start bar icon.

briangw Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I can confirm that Trend Micro's Internet Security 2009 doesn't work. Upon reboot, it blue screened on me and then kept failing when I was registering my software. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/689892-windows-7-anti-virus/page/2/#findComment-590121868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjaak327 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You do know that Windows 7 has a build in firewall ? If you use the advanced firewall, it should give you more then enough custimisation. The advanced firewall is already present in Windows since Vista.

martinmine Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 What AV did Microsoft use at the PDC? When they demonstrated the hiding of notification, i saw that they had an AV-linke icon, somethink like Trend Micros Office scan client, but blut (Can't remember exacly how it was) but it had some curves. Someone knowes what AV this is, does not have time to gey any picture, but wil get one tomorrow :) Martin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/689892-windows-7-anti-virus/page/2/#findComment-590188264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

briangw Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Here is the screen: Does annyone know what AV this is? That looks like Computer Associate's (CA) Antivirus and if i'm not mistaken, MS has used them foir at least four years, because at my last company, we were evaluating CA, along with Symantec and Trend Micro before going with Trend Micro. The CA vendor commented that MS was a client of theirs. Before that, it was called InnoculateIT which I believe was bought out by CA.

And it works well. On a personal note BitDefender has been my favourite for some time now, but since I can't use it, Norton seems to be the only alternative. I hated Norton previously but it seems they have improved, not sluggish now. Still am switching to BitDefender as soon as the add Win7 support.

They have a lot of different products, I will keep you goys updated when I have tested them :) Martin CA Antivirus: Does not want to install CA Internet Security: Same as CA AV Any idea if the antiviruses works with x64 bits platforms or Windows 7? I use Windows 7 x64, may that be the cause that I can't install the AV?
