Okay, my very stupid question is:
Does Windows 7 still require those sluggishly slow virus programs, registry cleaners, spyware detectors/cleaners etc. etc. ???
Yes of course you will still need those. Windows 7 does not make all those antivirus programs obsolete.

Re: Hello From Windows 7
Vista has a firewall, so I suspect Windows 7 does too. There was nothing mentioned about it or antivirus during installation, unless I missed it.

It depends which 'sluggisly slow' virus programs you use, I use AVG on Vista and it's totally invisible to me, never had any problems. Norton however feels like it halves the speed of my computer.
