Which anti-virus for win7?

Hiya!

My Kaspersky 2009 doesn't work with win7 so i'm in the market for a new AV.

I have 5 computers in the house so will need a multivoulme licence. Is kaspersky still the best this year?

Microsoft Security essentials, as mentioned in dozens of threads in this very OCUK section. Free, not a memory hog and works very well!

I'll second Kami's comment. I am very impressed with it.

Didn't think my comment was that good!

well installing it now, never really trusted M$ tools. Surely every hacker and his dog will be trying to break this?

ESET Nod32 if yur not happy with the MS stuff

Running it on 3 different Win 7 installs, 32 and 64 bit and works fine. Very small memory and processor footprint

Agreed, it's rather good. Only slight complaint is that it doesn't seem to update all that often (every few days).
