FREE ANTIVIRUS
Installed 7 on new partition (Running XP Pro). Installed beautifully and was performing great. After awhile, I stupidly decided to install a copy of Avast Anti-Virus Free (use it on XP). After install, Avast would not update and 7 would repeatedly run CHKDSK and delete an awfull lot. Uninstalled and found out there is no free Anti-Virus listed for Windows 7. I would hate to pay for an Anti-Virus while checking out Windows 7. Any help?
