Important: Before you install antivirus software, check to make sure you don’t already have an antivirus product on your computer. If you do, be sure to remove the product you don’t want before you install the new one. It can cause problems on your computer to have two different antivirus products installed at the same time.

And now, these are the antivirus and security softwares for Windows 7 -
1. Kaspersky – Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management systems, announces the release of a technical prototype of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows 7. The prototype version for Windows 7 has an antivirus, a firewall, and also a spam-filter which function correctly, but needs suggestions and is waiting for the actual release from the beta stage of Windows 7. You can download the prototype from here.

2. Norton 360 v3.0 Beta – This is also in Beta stage for the Win 7 beta. You have to register to install it. Check it out at registration page.

3. AVG antivirus – The best and reliable. They have already got the special antivirus, fully featured and ready for Windows 7, but they might charge you for the full version. You can still try out the trial version and download from here. And i think trial version might do enough for the beta version of Windows 7.
