Anti-Virus Solutions for the Windows 7 Beta

Folks have been asking about anti-virus solutions that work with the Windows 7 Beta. In anticipation of this, Microsoft has been actively working with security partners to help them get their applications ready for Windows 7. Three security vendors have taken the build we released to developers at the PDC in October and have developed solutions available today that work with the Windows 7 Beta. The following anti-virus solutions are available via Windows 7 Security Provider page:

  • 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. We will add additional partners to the Windows 7 Security Provider page when they make Windows 7 versions publicly available.

    HI all.

    I'm using AVG on WinXP and it's very good. I'm gonna install it on 7 tomorrow. From now, still early, i'm amazed how good (compared to Vista) 7 is.

    Can't wait for launch.

    AVG Free 64 bit works perfectly (3 days now) as do all my other apps/progs. Win7 is stable, very stable.

    The Free AVG version seems to be working fine on mine. In fact I've had Win7 installed for about a week now with no problems at all, except for an ocasional browser crash. Thumbs Up!

    Symantec Endpoint Protection mostly works as well (both 32 and 64 bit).  Latest release-MR4, works as an unmanaged client without the Firewall/Device control components (i.e., AV/Anti-spyware only).
