At the end of next month Windows Vista will be discontinued and in three more years, Windows 7 users will be just as lucky. This is why many users are migrating to Windows 10, but And but they can for business reasons? What options will be kept when Windows 7 support ends? Will the security be the same?
Taking this last point we have made a list of the best antivirus that exist for Windows 7, but this time for the business world, leaving a little aside for the home user.
Bitdefender
Bitdefender is the most complete antivirus that exists today for the business world, standing out above all in how to deal with unknown threats. At this point it stands out but it also has good usability and does not consume many Windows 7 resources, something quite important in many antivirus for many users.
Bitdefender has several options for the business world, covering aspects such as the Cloud or a simple computer network. In all cases, the Bitdefender program is prepared for rasomware and new threats that put our data at risk. Bitdefender can be found at your official website, there will be a free trial for those who have doubts.
Kaspersky
Kaspersky is another one of the perfect business solutions with Windows 7. It is not the best according to the tests but one of the most important and interesting. Is characterized for having a great user interface that guides a lot not only in its operation but also when choosing the version that suits us. Kaspersky offers a free trial to test their products without having to pay anything. If we compare it with Bitdefender, Kaspersky scores lower but almost as high as Bitdefender, especially in relation to rasomware.
Symantec
Norton's company is the third business solution. Its service packages for companies with Windows 7 are very complete, but it is true that both the usability and the performance is not as good as the rest of the antivirus. That is why it ranks third, but it is also true that Symantec has very useful tools for Windows 7. In its official website You can get a free trial of any of their products, to test and verify its operation.
Security Essentials
Microsoft's antivirus is still functional and a good security option for Windows 7, but it is true that for the business world it is too small. Although many use it as a bar to compare with other antivirus, thus below it, it is not recommended to use it in our company. It is a good reference and that is why we have placed it in this list of antivirus.
What happened to the other known solutions?
Surely many of you will miss names like Mcafee or Panda Security, very good security solutions suitable for the business world but that do not focus on working with Windows 7, that is, their improvements and innovations are in versions for other platforms and not for Windows 7. In some cases, performance leaves much to be desired for Windows 7That is why we have not included them in this list, but for other operating systems it is just as effective.
Personally I would not choose a solution now but I would try the three antivirus and I would choose the one that best suits my company. A business network is not the same as the home computer, its security has to be even higher if possible and it is not something that has to be determined by money.
