Hmmm... there is a top 10 list of worst PC viruses of all time out there, but no scales specific to win7.

You seem like a smart guy, I have the same question. May I ask what you use?
I like MalwareBytes, I currently use MSE + MalwareBytes but am thinking of using bitdefender instead of MSE.

top detectors are AVIRA, and Kaspersky Lab for example. This does change year to year, as they do compete against each other.

I use Trend Micro Maximum Security.

Malwarebytes Paid Version

Occasional scan with Hitman Pro.

Most people will say it's a 2-way tie at the top between Bitdefender & Kaspersky with a slight nod to Bitdefender due to it's lower system resources.

Trend Micro is #1 in detection the past few months.
