    Why can't I get it to work with Windows 7? 
    If all is not lost, where is it?

      Hello Larry, One Care is not compatible with Windows 7.  There are many antimalware solutions that work with Windows 7 such as AVG, Avast, Kaspersky, NOD32 and others as well.

        Thanks.  My subscription runs out in April, will I get a prorated rebate for the 3 months or is that just a loss on my part for beta testing Windows 7?

          Hello Larry, I don't think you can get credit for any unused time on your subscription.

            When is the new Microsoft free anti-virus coming out?  I'm sure that will be compatible with Windows 7.  But in the meantime, I need something and if the free is going to be good, I don't want to pay for another subscription.  Any ideas?  And thanks for your input.

              Hello Larry, Morro is due in the second half of 2009 but that can change. AVG and Avast are free, Kaspersky has a free offering for the beta and there is a NOD32 beta which is free to use through the end of March.

                Thanks again Jim.  I downloaded the NOD 360 but it says it's only good for 14 days.  I tried to download the Kaspersky beta, but it kept bombing out.  Maybe I'll start it later on tonight.  I can imagine that a lot of people are in the same boat as I am.  Wish they would hurry up with Morro.  LOL

                Thanks again for your help.  I appreciate it.

                  Hello Larry, it sounds like you downloaded the trial not the beta. The beta can be downloaded here - http://www.eset.eu/download/beta I recommend the antivirus, not the Smart Security suite. Also as a reminder, regardless of which antivirus you install it will most likely include antispyware so disabling Defender is a good idea.

                    Thank you kind sir.  Uninstalled the other one and downloaded NOD32 without even a stutter.  Thanks for your help and the link.  Appreciate it.

                    Have a great week.
