Just a note on the Kaspersky one, it requires a Windows 7 Launch Party Host Email, each Host email can only be used 15 times.
As far as I know the email also needs to be US or UK. :|

Thanks for the heads-up Airbot, but with the death late last year of Windows Live OneCare, I installed the free version of avast!, and to be frank, it has served me admirably.
However, when it comes time to re-register for avast!, I'm thinking of giving Microsoft Security Essentials a run for no money. It certainly looks OK and I haven't seen much negative publicity [apart from Competitors selling similar] about the program.
