Topic: Windows 7 and McAfee Antivirus

[havocknox]

Ok well I thought I would lay this out there for everyone.  Since I am a computer consultant and have access to things others don't, I have Windows 7 enterprise edition (retail version).  I will let you know I like this much better then Vista already, for it isn't sucking ram like a kid with there first coke.  But I have run into one issue and thought I would ask and seen if anyone has seen this.  I had McAfee Anti-virus 8.5i Patch 8 (thanks again Samker)  but it would not load on Windows 7 for me.  So I thought I would ask if any of you techies out there that have been playing with Windows 7, does McAfee 8.7i work with Windows 7 or am I stuck with Sophos as my new anti-virus.  Now, I like Sophos, but I like McAfee as well.  So let me know your thoughts and if anyone has 8.7 and it works with Windows 7 ??

I'm 99,9% sure that v8.7 work with Win.7, here is few official info from McAfee (March 2009): https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB61013

runnig VSE 8.7i + win 7 rtm x86 flawless.

8.7i works fine on Windows 7, although watch out... when you run it on x64 it constantly warns you that something tries to terminate it when really that isn't a case.  It's something that should be fixed in Patch 2.

Patch 2 is what McAfee recommends.

This is what we use in our it world as well...  Looks like 8.5 may never work...
