Norton 360 3.0 Beta & Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0 Beta…both for Windows 7

Well…

After a clean installation of Windows 7, the system is so stable and more faster than Vista. I’ve test 7 in the same machine that I used to work with Vista, and the resources, memory management and look & feel are better, more flexible and useful.

As the post says Norton & Kaspersky for 7, so these are the facts: I decided to test this suites for two aspects, performance and protection.

Norton 360 3.0 Beta in mi machine with these features: Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz; 2GB RAM; Windows 7 Ultimate for x86…Norton 360 totally crashes…

The system becomes unstable, slow, removable media presents mal function, video and sound crashed. So I proceed to update machine, drivers, review the checklist for Norton 360, remove some hardware that I think that maybe present problems, but anything function.

Conclusion Norton 360 is not the best choice for 7 right now…at least for my machine :P. Well the two products are in beta state for now, so when an RC or final version will become more stable.

Today I’ve installed Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0 Beta for Windows 7, it looks well:

Really I don’t experience any problems….yet, the product is stable, a little annoying with user messages in the mode of learning, but besides that I really like the product.

The next week I’ll test AVG so wait for the post :P…
