Windows 7 keeps warning me I need anti-software. I use MSN, and McAfee is included, except it will not download because of incompatiblity. (MSN downloaded fine and appears to work).

AVG or Avira Antivirus. Both work fine and both have free version or you can buy them.

OK, I found one, which is a trial version for Windows 7 and I don't have to pay for it (yet). But in the long run, MSN/Windows 7/McAfee developers need to make sure McAfee works.

Ypour not alone, my mother refuses to to upgrade to the newer windows when I told her that her anti virus software that she gets through MSN does not funtion..eh unless ihis is only on the 64 bit machine, does it hold true for the 32 bit machine aswell? How ever I did here that 64 bit in general is more secure?

I sugest you the Avira free edition antivirus. I installed with no problem and works fine.

The three supported vendors are listed on this page.

I can't speak for MS but I've had decent luck with Forefront v1 and NOD32, which aren't on the MS approved list. Some people have had trouble with some of the AVs listed on the approved list so it is hard to say. http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/ - https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Aaron.Tiensivu - If you find my post helpful, please click on the "Post was helpful" option inside my post.

Thanks for all the replies, BUT, my point is, will McAfee be (eventually) compatible with Windows 7? McAfee is the AV provided as part of MSN subscription. It seems like this is something that needs to be considered. I put one of the free AV's on my system for the Beta.

I'm using the free version of Avast's antivirus software. Its not onMicrosoft's list, butit works great and I've have had no problems whatsoever.

I'm using Kaspersky 2009. It works well. Frederick Zhang

McAfee is one of the AV programs used by the Department of Defense. I can almost guarantee McAfee will develop and provide a Windows 7 supported release. Now, when in the beta/RTM timeline they'll do that.....

Norton 2009 works like a trooper

Symantec Corporate doesn't work. It gets the compatibility message.

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i seems to work fine for me.

I prefer NOD32 4.0 or Avast Home both working fine in Windows 7 ..give it a try ...

try to get a beta version of mcafee antivirus software at http://beta.mcafee.comit is free till the end of this year.

The McAfee beta works well with Windows 7. I've been using it for a couple of months with various beta builds and now RC1.

Hello! I use kaspersky and it works very well. I tried avast too but it takes too many resources and this is not good becouse i have a slow computer. I don't need something to make my computer slow down so that i chose an old version of kaspersky. kis 2010 has the same problem so i preffer this <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> http://www.trustdownload.com/Antivirus-and-Spyware-Cleaners/Antivirus/Kaspersky-Internet-Security-7.0.html
