Norton has a webpage for windows 7. norton 2009 is compatible with Win 7 X64 after update. 2010 is compatible ground up.

Norton is and will always be a resource Hog.. so plz Stay away from Norton...

well, yes im a Norton nono-lover (to put it in the meaningful terms)
come on buddy, I hv analysed AVs and Firewalls and ISS (internet security systems), IDSes (Intrusion detection systems) for as much as 5 years and hv used alot of systems than many of us here can think of... (not bragging abt myself in any such way plz..)
I am jus trying to be straight and simple to direct the guy in the right path..
--------
The most stable AVs/ISSes are: (with no priority in listing)
1.) Kaspersky
2.) AVG
3.) NOD32
----------------
I was a Norton lover (at that point in time) wen the only name tat every one knew wen it came to Antivirus or security for that matter was : Norton/ Symantec....
It does hv a lot of features and processes, i dnt doubt that, nor i doubt the detection capability of Norton. but wat is the use if the only thing u can use beside running Norton (during a normal scan too..) on ur low end system is jus a screensaver and everything jus chokes for processor time..?? is tat really tat useful in a processor/time saving way..?? naa i dnt think tat.. so jus ponder on that thought..
----------
Neways... i recommended wat i hv used and yes, do get ur facts right buddy, KIS or NOD32 or AVG are not at all resource hogs, but Norton tops the list... for sure..

That's not true
I've just installed NIS 2010 and it's really fast.
It's great and fast and have more features now.
I also installed Kaspersky 2010 and its more resource hog than norton 2009 itself.
It's GUI is now marvelous. None other suites come even near to it
Av-test result: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120651
And in malware detecting it's in front of all other suites
Pcmag test result: *img12.imageshack.us/img12/4513/antisk.jpg
The feature i like is that it has IPS ( Intrusion prevention engine) in browser which prevents any malware from attacking and doesn't blocks the web page unlike other suites which just blocks the web page.
Like KIS 2010 done for me: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119883
^^It had just read the code written by a user and blocks the hole web page
I had also problem with it's firewall which i can explain but will not believe
And please don't recommended at least AVG to any one It doesn't do well at protecting
It's better to use anti avira personal ,avast home addition and prevx 3
I've not tried NOD32 till now though

Dear Ashu
I was an avid Norton hater till 2008. But after using 2009 Gaming edition and now 2010 (My office provided me so I had to use it !!!!)...... I have to say its not bad (it will still take me some time to change my mental framework and call it good.....But it is certainly different than the 2007 that I despised). KIS is GOOD.

well thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
my problem is solved after installing McAfee 2009 total security. although it requires live install (with active internet connection).
as for as hot discussion on anti-virus i love McAfee. its fast, does not consume resource [it only slows down your machine on startup for few secods] the protection it provides is unmatchable ! i have been using Mcafee on my 21 months old Dell desktop and i never encountered any virus despite of the fact that my desktop remains connected to internet. my new laptop does come with xp and norton combination. but i needed McAfee to secure it.
My votes McAfee Total Security 2009 !
once thanks to all of you guys.

Prevx is also pretty good. I used the trial version when I used to get infected and was pretty impressed. Anyway, now I use AVG Free and that too as a formality only to prevent drive-by downloads or attacks. I dont even scan PD's anymore, and havent been infected since 2008 Jan. Trick is to explore PD's instead of opening them.
