You may know this - but I didn't!

Went to install SUPERAntiSpyware on Win 7 RC1. Install went ok 'til the end and BAM, my first BSOD since Win 98!

Apparently, SAS is not yet compatible with Win 7...so, FYI!

EDIT - And, I learned that Win 7 still has "re-boot on error" enabled by default - I really wish that MS would change that!

Try to install, and run SAS in Vista, or XP compatibility mode.
I tried to use Comodo AV in Win 7.
I didn't want to install at all until I ran installer in Vista mode.
Then any attempt to run it (like updates) produced BSOD.
I settled down for Avira.

I never understood what was the reasoning behind it.

Thanks, Broni. I don't like running utilities like SAS in Compatibility Mode - I was just trying to warn others not to install SAS; or at least, check the SAS website to see if Win 7 is added to the program compatibility list.

For the record, Avast! seems to run fine on Win 7.

Downloaded and installed. Got the latest defs and all is working after a reboot. I just have to run a scan.

Make sure that you are running the Windows 7 Build 7100 from MS not the leaked version.
