Anti-virus programs for Windows 7

As we know in these days, the security of any operating system as their own is not enough, specially with the number of threads that everyday appear in internet.

Is for that reason that Symantec, AVG & Kaspersky recently present versions of protection suites: Norton 360 3.0 Beta, AVG Internet Security 8.0 & Technical Preview Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Microsoft Windows 7.

Brandon LeBlanc, Windows communications manager on the Windows Client Communications Team, revealed that “Microsoft had been hard at work attempting to get security providers to offer anti-virus for Windows 7. No less than three companies have rushed to Microsoft's call, and are offering their products even if Windows 7 is still in Beta”.

The promise from Microsoft is that the list of security providers that support Windows 7 will grow. “We will add additional partners to the Windows 7 Security Provider page when they make Windows 7 versions publicly available,” LeBlanc said.

For download & test the versions listed above, you can download each one from this links:

1. Norton 360 3.0 Beta is available for download here.
