If you have to install Windows 7 Beta, you see a message that stated it is important from the Action Center which is located in the system tray that one of them is a request to search for and antivirus programs. From here can be arrested that Microsoft itself considers that the system is not safe if dibuatnya without the other programs to prevent viruses and malware. As with Windows Vista, security program that is included in the Windows 7 Beta is only the Windows Defender antispyware.

* Symantec provides the Norton 360 3.0 Beta
* Offering AVG AVG Internet Security and AVG Anti-Virus product which is both commercial AVG

Is it only that? Then I also try to install and run AVG 8 Free Edition and Avira Antivir Personal is free for use, and in fact the process of installing and running at the time, there were no problems that arise. Action Center on the Windows 7 own reading of both the existence of a second anti-including the status if the real-time protection at the time of death or need updates.
