Antivirus software for my new computer

bdteam

Hi all, i have recently just built myself a computer for gaming and a bit of filesharing (legal of course) So just being to kind of person who likes to be on the safe side of things i am wondering what the recommended anti-virus software for a new Windows 7 PC. I have been looking at getting AVG but i am not sure if it works on W7

I can recommend you Avast in Windows 7. It's better than AVG less resources needed and full performance. Visit their site here AVAST!

Yes AVG is now compatible with Windows 7 so you can use that. Both AVG and Avast are free and easy to use so I would say just use the one you are most comfortable with.

Ok thanks, i was also wondering whether there are any opinions on whether i should go for the freeware or buy? i noticed that a lot of my friends have paid software and they never seem to have any problems with their computers. Thanks again

AVg 9.0 has just been released and it does work with win7 also as an aside it is used by NASA for mission critical stuff so if its good enough for them.........

I have tried both AVG9 and Avast and performance is satisfactory even they are freeware.
