Recently i upgraded my vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7
I was running eset Nod 32 and after the upgrade, it told me it wasn't working.
Nod32 was doing well for me, but i guess it doesnt work anymore.
Anyone recommend which anti virus/spyware to use with Windows 7 that will be compatible?
Thanks

The system requirements page at http://www.eset.com/products/nod32.php indicates Windows 7 support for both 32 and 64 bit editions.
If you did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7 (as opposed to a fresh install) then it probably didn't upgrade NOD properly. Reinstall NOD
Of course, this also assumes you have the latest NOD (Version 4?) Reply With Quote

Guns don't kill people, people kill...oh wait, guns do kill people. So do knives, cars, cigarettes, AIDS, and old age. Let's ban them all! Reply With Quote

Oct 17th, 2009 05:58 AM #6I know there's no option to turn heuristics on/off in Microsoft Security Essentials, but does anyone know if perhaps heuristics is built in somehow hidden from the user? MSE's interface does appear to be as simple as possible. Originally Posted by JAC

I've been using NOD32 since my fresh install, and it's working fine.
