Anti-virus recommendation for windows 7 RC1

[hashbrown99]

About to install Windows 7 RC1 and am stuck for an anti-virus program to use with it. Am currently using Bit Defender IS 2008 which expires in a week but I don't want to fork out for software which won't work with Windows 7. All I can find on Google is that McAfee definitely doesn't work with windows 7; nothing too specific on any of the others and after the endless hassles Norton gave me not interested in that

I'm looking for any advice based on actual experience with a AV package and RC1

Ta very much

I like Avast - free and works well!

most programs has a trial you can download so you could always run the trial first and see if it works on win 7 before forking out money.

ESET NOD32 or SmartSecurity, you can download the Trial version, its 30 days and you get dull access, so it gives you time to decide before purchasing it.

AVG works

+1 I use AVG paid version with no problems. AVG website claims 100% compatibility with W7.

Suppose the free version would then work too.

Hi

Running NOD32 Version 4.0.313 and Windows 7 build 7100. No problems. Very small footprint and unobtrusive.

You won't go wrong with this and Win7

+ v 4.0.314.0 , although I wouldn't call 40Mb ram a very small footprint.
