Wrong title

The correct title would be : "Antivirus programs doesn't support Windows 7 Beta".

AND ............. it's still a beta
AND ............. new OS, new Version Number, some application are "compatible thru version XX of the OS on wich they can run,
If the XX become YY, but still the same OS, the application won't run anymore.
Is it because MS renamed his software Windows 7, 7 as a digit in place of character string as "Vista"? who knows ?

re: Misleading Title

Of course it is misleading and sensational, look at the source. PC World has become another source of Microsoft Bashing.

Avast works perfectly for me

Its no wonder McAfee doesnt work or Norton they are total POS software. I abandoned Nortons 2 years ago on my Windows XP machine when it failed to find and remove some trojans and moved to Avast and it has always found and removed anything I could throw at it. I do web development for a living and maintain and operate a web server thru server beach and I am constantly exposed to virii and trojans when cleaning up our mail queue.

I had no trouble installing and using Avast home edition on my Dual boot (Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 Beta) machine nor on on my 32bit install of windows 7 beta on my old Acer Aspire 3000 laptop.
