Need antivirus software, which is best for Windows 7?

need anti virus for windows 7 anyone knows the best for

A very good (free) choice for real-time protection is:

Microsoft Security Essentials
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Don't forget, no single anti-virus program can detect every single threat in the wild, so it is wise to run periodic scans with other programs in addition to your real-time protection, I suggest following two free programs:

Malwarebytes
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware
http://www.SUPERAntiSpyware.com/

Depending on your browsing habits / on the Internet, you can run manual scans with the two above on a weekly / every two weeks to be sure.

One last note, don't forget to keep the virus definitions updated!

  • Error: "files which are required for Windows to run properly must be copied into the DLL cache.

    I need some serious help please someone... I get a message that Windows File Protection is! and he says that "files which are required for Windows to run properly must be copied into the DLL cache" that I know, but I do not know why this has happened... I think it happened because of an update which took place about 2 days ago cause that is when it started, but I've tried all t0 get rid of it. I tried to disable using "regedit" in the run screen and it did not help... I need help with fixing this. I don't have my copy of Windows XP Professional Moose because this Pc is old, and I just kept to upgrade. Can someone guide me please in the right direction and the easiest that I'd appreciate it, thanks Chris!

    Thanks to all who tried to help, it means a lot!  I have no idea what happens but I tried to run a complete scan with antivirus program McAfee I was BTW it was free because of the internet service gave to me to be a customer with them, (I guess they have an ongoing case) not much of a cause I had nothing else problems with McAfee all for about 5 years and they are so much better programs out there (to new my opinion) but on with my story so whenever I tried to run a full scan or fast he rode every time error cannot start scan try again and so on, so I called them and they could not understand what the problem was and finally reinstalled but it doesn't work and of course they wanted me to buy a version... So I said forget it and went with one of the best Antivirus out there (my opinion only) programs free and it scanned and found some articles ad and he never came back! So I'm lucky so far and happy! Once again thanks to Jose @ and @ John for help and getting back to me, that shows the high level of awareness and dedication... So thank you to you two! I have no idea of what the problem was I think that he had with the Ad-ware and anti virus program does not properly and somehow obtained a "bug" If you want to. Have an awesome day and thank you and if I can ever be useful I'll do my best! I was wondering something quick you guys like Avast Internet security because I've had some people said he is well worth and had some interesting features, I personally put AVG but I was wondering about obtaining notice! Thanks for the tips when you get the time!

  • Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions

    I get this window popping up that reads, "files required for Windows to run correctly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.»  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.  Insert your Windows XP Professional CD2 now. "The problem is that I'm not running XP Professional.  I am running XP Media Edition (do not know what version - when I look at 'System' in the control panel it says version 2002, but the OS disc that came with my computer says version 2005 with update rollup 2).  In any case, I only have an installation disc, and when I insert it, the computer tells me it's the wrong disc.  What should I do?

    God help us all...

    Is the CD you have an XP bootable installation CD authentic or some kind of restore CD provided with your system (they are not the same thing).  If it's a CD of Windows, this Service Pack is on the CD?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    What is your Service Pack installed?  If you are not sure, do the following:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

    When you see a message like this:

    Windows file protection
    Files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.  To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.

    I hope that you are curious to know what is the file and when you know that, you can decide what to do about it.

    You must click Cancel, and then click Yes to keep the file, then you will have an event to watch which will tell you what the problem is the file.

    Search where you sign in to see what is the name of file system Viewer, then decide what to do.

    The event will look something like in this example:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64005
    Date: 10/01/2011
    Time: 14:41:56
    Description:
    The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

    When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

    P.S. Let us know how you go with these Microsoft KB article suggestions.
