Running Avira AntiVir Premium in Windows 7 Beta
If you install Avira AntiVir Premium 8.1.00.331 from the DVD of Computer Shopper March 2009 in Windows 7 Beta, you'll not be able to do any update. But, you can download the latest version and use the same license key for 90 days when you register.
The differences between Avira Premium Security Suite and Avira AntiVir Premium are the inclusion of proactive phishing defense, antispam, firewall, backup system, antibot and game mode.

Disappearing Functions in AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
If you compare the 2 screen shots, you'll notice that the LinkScanner and Resident Shield icons have disappeared after an update from AVG Anti-Virus Free version 8.0.176 to 8.0.237 in both Windows XP & 7 Beta.
So you can't configure LinkScanner and Resident Shield under Tools -> Advanced settings anymore.
But, a quick test confirmed that Resident Shield is still functioning as it detected the anti-malware testfile for eicar.com, eicar_com.zip & eicarcom2.zip. Also, it passed all the spyware tests at Spycar.

CCleaner 2.16.830
CCleaner works on Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7 Beta. It supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera & Google Chrome browsers but this is not evident in the software as shown.
On their website, it is mentioned it can clean temporary files, history, cookies, download history and form history for Mozilla Firefox. This is less effective than Firefox 3 which can clean more items such as search history, offline website data, saved passwords and authenticated sessions. But, CCleaner also can clean applications such as Foxit Reader, Windows Media Player, Windows Defender, MS Paint and RegEdit.
It can be scheduled to run when the computer starts. After installation on a computer, you can just copy the installation directory to a USB flash drive and it will work on any computer.

Creating PDF Files in Windows 7 Beta
Although Windows 7 Beta comes with Microsoft XPS Document Writer, pdf is the de facto standard. By using pdf printer driver, it not only saves paper but works in any application. I tested the following software which supports Windows Vista:
- novaPDF Lite Desktop 6
- PrimoPDF 4.1
- CutePDF Writer 2.71
- Foxit PDF Creator
