AVG 7.5 free edition is for the 32bit version only according to their website. Perhaps the posters who have it running actually have the 32 bit version of Vista???

AVG Anti-virus and Firewall won't work as the firewall isn't compatible with Vista as of yet, however the standard pro version of AVG Antivirus does work fine.

I am still looking for a free AV for Vista x64. I think its pretty bad MS's OneCare isn't 64 bit compliant.

I think paying the odd £26 for a 2 years licence for AVG Pro is more than acceptable. With all the other AV's out there you only get a 1 year licence.

But then I would say that, i'm an AVG reseller

yeah AVG 7.5 Free does not support 64-bit, there's no mention of one being released soon. I tried avast for a while but found it too bloaty and intrusive, really need an AVG for 64-bit :(

Just waiting for a Good Firewall now :)

I'm using AVG 7.5 Free Edition and I've not had any problems running it in Vista x64. Do you happen to have any other antivirus software installed while you're trying to install it? I can't think of any other reason why it would say that. Also, are sure you're using the free version and not the Pro version. That said, I don't know why the free version would work and pro wouldn't.

The only anti-virus for me is NOD32 (eset) it's out of the beta stage and now it's ready for vista x64.

Ilan Bowen is that you?

What makes you say that? Maybe I killed him and took his Lightsaber! No, sorry...my name is Kevin, but my friends call me Lisa and my mom calls me George. Oh and my wife calls me Jefferson. Seriously though, sorry, different Bowen. :)
