| DUH! News of the Day: Windows 7 Requires AV Scanner To Be "Safe" As Windows 7's market share passes 3.6%, up from 1.9% the day before launch, llManDrakell notes an experiment they did over at Sophos. They installed Windows 7 on a clean machine — with no anti-virus protection — with User Access Control in its default configuration.

You still need to run anti-virus on Windows 7. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/11...ruses?from=rss
