Windows 7 Is Still Virus-Vulnerable
Testing the new Window 7 reveals you still need anti-virus on your PC. It may well be self-serving that it took an anti-virus company Sophos to declare to the world that the new Windows OS is still vulnerable to virus attacks. (For sure, any OS that can screen out any virus will spell the demise of anti-virus companies.)
Its recent tests showed that 8 out of 10 notorious viruses fed to it, infected the machine running Windows 7.0. Its much vaunted User Account Control or UAC was able to stop one out of the eight, though. That may not be good enough with virus makers getting more sophisticated and powerful. So better be safe than sorry, don’t throw away your antivirus program when shifting to the new OS. It won’t hurt you to reinstall it. Personally I run NOD32, a great lightweight anitvirusprogram. Quite cheap too, costs around $40-60.
