Is 7 showing a weakness even at this early stage?

- Probably not; but PC Pro magazine’s staff found a problem whilst running Kaspersky’s Windows 7 antivirus. On the Pro Blog they record the event and relate the problems that they were experiencing running Word 2007 in Windows 7 while Kaspersky’s beta was installed.

As the writer points out; “…this is a free security suite running on a beta operating system. Bugs are to be expected.”

- However I don’t advise running any operating system without security software; even if it is only until the Office Manager finds out. There are other anti-virus etc solutions available; even for Windows 7 beta. I do suggest installing one of them, even if this insight has caused you to give Kaspersky’s free Windows 7 Security Suite a miss for the time being.

Are you running the Windows 7 beta? What’s your own experience? Have you found any bugs in it yet? Did you notice the above issue? I look forward to your comments.
