I´m Xim0 and i´m using two pctools programs:
- spywaredoctor with antivirus (expirying in 2 months)
- Firewall Plus.

I´testing windows 7 64bits RC and I have following comments for you:

- Spywaredoctor doesn´t work fine, from the beginning I got all the time a message from the system reading that Spywaredoctor should be inmediately activated (the thing is that the program seemed to be working ok). I also get from time to time some kind of small errors from W7 concerning spywaredoctor but the program seems to be ok. Last error was yesterday and said: "This program is not compatible with W7". every time I open 3 or 4 programs at the same time, spyware doctor crashes and closes explorer.exe, it´s a chaos, even working with forced compatibility with xp or vista. I´m very worried because my subscription is over in 1 month and a half and can´t see at the moment any progress on this matter (windows 7 is here in 2-3 months). Does anybody know if pctools is hurrying up with this or if there is a patch or whaterver till final product comes out?
Thanks and Regards.


- Firewall Plus. As you know it doesn´t work at all, but in case there is a beta I would like to try it. Please be so kind as to arrange it for me to become a beta tester.

My best Regards,
Xim0

As far as I'm aware W7 is still at release candidate stage and there have been some updates the logical step would be to use a fully released operating system. This is bound to happen until the OS is released properly.

Just use vista until W7 is out proper.

Hi Xim0,

The current version of SD and PCTFW available from the website is not compatible on Windows 7. However, you already have access to the beta forum. The beta versions available (SD & PCTFW) will work on Windows 7. You might want to check these out.

Hey Guys, I'm running Windows 7 32bit RC and things are great with 6.1.0.477.
Very smooth. :)

Carlobee,

That is what has been said. If you want it to work, get the beta.
