I currently use Avira Premium & Windows Defender on my x64 laptop.

Next month I will be upgrading from Vista to W7 so my question pertains to the security requirements for W7. According to a Microsoft news release, a new security suite will be released very soon to replace Windows Live Care. From this news item I get the impression that this new security will more than accomplish my personal laptop requirements.

Continuing this thought I am wondering if I should just let my Avira Premium expire in Mar 2010 and just use the new Microsoft configuration.

Your thoughts please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Windows 7 is a lot more secure than Vista of course. I am not sure about Internet Security as that depends on your Firewall and/or Anti-Virus. But I do know that the Windows 7 User Account Control (Parental Controls) makes it pretty much impossible for your kids or whoever to edit any computer files or visit any unauthorized sites or settings menus. I would recommend going to Microsoft's website and seeing a few demo's of the new Windows 7 protection.
