What Anti-Virus and Firewall are you using with Windows 7

[dpnaugle]

Hi all,

Just wondering what you are using for antivirus and firewall with windows 7.

Currently I am using Avast Home ant-virus, and Win 7 FW. I may give Comodo a try.

What do you think?

I've been using McAfee Security Suite. It works perfectly on x32 and x64 versions of Windows 7 and my isp gives it to me for free. Being a (free) subscription service, the definitions are always current (automatically updated). If it wasn't free from my service provider, this is one program I would be happy to pay for.

Ugh... I can't believe someone is actually happy with McAfee. I've had nothing but bad experiences with it for quite some time now... and I believe it to be worse than any of Norton's products. But if it works well for you, then that's great... you are one of the lucky few.

Good old fashioned AVG free (9.0, I believe, as it has been nagging me to upgrade and I finally did) and the standard windows firewall. Not the best, but it gets the job done.

I am running Win 7 X64 using Microsoft Security Essentials and the MS firewall.

I had Avast free version when I ran the Win 7 32 bit RC and it was working fine.

As for Comodo, when I had Vista Home premium, Comodo really messed up after I installed SP 2 so avoiding it this time around. It had worked pretty well up till that time and I still use in for my XP Pro on a dual-boot desktop.

I have Comcast for cable/internet and could get McAfee free. Decided not to do that.

Microsoft security essentials(MSE) is very basic,so i just deleted it.i always had infections with my NOD32 on,and other like norton or zone alarm are always detecting "threats" that are nothing but my programs, they have bad definitions. slows down the computer(i think)I bought Kaspersky internet security 2010 and i'm happy with it,it's not an annoying thing,if im going to a dangerous site it will block it...it was not expensive.I just have to renew the liscence after 300 days or some,but it doesn't cost too much.
