Just as it was the case with Windows Vista, the mitigations introduced by Microsoft alone in Windows 7 are not sufficient to bulletproof the operating system on their own.




While security for Windows 7 is not a new subject, as you have been able to already read materials on this subject, fact is that following the release of the first Beta for the next iteration of the Windows client, I have seen questions from users related to how they could protect themselves best. Microsoft is indeed providing, in collaboration with members of the security industry, solutions designed to integrate with Windows 7, even if the operating system is in Beta.

Brandon LeBlanc, Windows communications manager on the Windows Client Communications Team, revealed that Microsoft had been hard at work attempting to get security providers to offer anti-virus for Windows 7. No less than three companies have rushed to Microsoft's call, and are offering their products even if Windows 7 is still in Beta.

“The following anti-virus solutions are available [for Windows 7]: Symantec offers the Norton 360 3.0 Beta, which works on the Windows 7 Beta; AVG offers AVG Internet Security and AVG Anti-Virus that works with the Windows 7 Beta; Kaspersky is offering a technical preview of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows 7. It is great to see that these partners were able to have their solutions working so early in our development process,” LeBlanc added.

Norton 360 3.0 Beta is available for download here.

VG Antivirus Professional 8.0 is available for download here.

AVG Internet Security 8.0 is available for download here.

Technical Preview Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Microsoft Windows 7  is available for download here.

By Rick on 16.01.2009 - 02:01

Avast = Serious Problems because wrongly deleted files!

By Carlos on 18.01.2009 - 14:01
i've had serious problems at the company... after change of antivirus to avast strangely our phc stopped working... stupid avast wrongly flagged a couple of files from phc and just deleted them... result: broken application for a few days and that was enough for a very angry boss and a fired partner of mine!
stay away from avast as far as you can and i mean it. viruses do less damage!

AV's are for novices!?

By CrimyG on 05.02.2009 - 18:02
hehehe if you don't run one then you have way too much time on your hands. there's plenty more to manual hack than removing viruses one file or reg key at a time.

To Windows7...WHAT!?!?!?

By Kyle on 07.02.2009 - 20:02
let me know when you have to clean up your system after a conficker-like virus/worm.

No AV

By David T. on 12.02.2009 - 19:02
leave uac on (vista) or turn uac all the way up (windows 7) and forget about the av. unless you are a novice computer user and then it doesn't matter because you are going to allow everything anyway.
