Windows 7 firewall and anti spyware stuff?

sastusbulbas · 28 Feb 2009 at 23:12

Hi all,

I was wondering what add on free firewalls and antispyware programs people are managing to get working with Windows 7?

I usually use Zonealarm and SuperAnti spyware, but both of these are not working with Windows 7 Beta.

Any other usefull software found to work in Windows 7 Beta?

As far as "anti malware" goes I installed AVG and that works fine.

zonealarm and avg antivirus should be avoided at all costs (on any os)

All I have installed is Avast!

I forgot to say, it's not recommended, just works!

avg antispyware is really good, (used to be ewido), but the AV is laughable at best

Zonealarm yes AVG no!

but the AV is laughable at best

AV tests show otherwise and its popular due to its good performance... It often finds and removes more than many many other paid for solutions..

What about 'malwarebytes anti-malware'?

Well all I have managed to use is Avira anti virus, but I did use ZoneAlarm firewall in my other system, and SuperAntiSpyware, and have to say I found both of them useable, and feel sort of naked without any sort of secondary insurance on this beta?
