Musste heute avast antivir deinstallieren unterstützt nicht mehr Win 7 und machte nur noch Ärger!

Frage, gibt es noch Free Antviren Programme die auch noch unter Win7 laufen? Danke!!

 

Bitdefender funktioniert immer noch, andere habe ich nicht getestet

 

360 Total Security ---> Offered by Qihoo (a Chinese provider). Still supports Windows 7. Warning: Contains some advertising, but offers real-time protection and regular updates.

@bernd Ich verstehe nicht, ich habe gerade das Update gemacht und alles funktioniert normal, aber Bitdefender ist kostenpflichtig habe ich vergessen darüber zu schreiben.
