I am using a Windows 7 at home and recently found that we are unable to carry on using the same anti virus.
I have since tried several others but they are freezing the computer up. I presume that this is due to the age/system incompatibility.
At the moment i haven't got anything on there, it has Windows Defender which i have switched on and updated and turned the Firewall back on. But am i correct in thinking that Defender on Windows 7 is not an actual anti-virus?
I have seen Microsoft Security Essentials mentioned elsewhere but i just wondered what anyone else thought.
Whilst it is an older machine, it isn't something that is up for being changed at the moment.
