Vista Ultimate x64
Posts: 58

How disappointing. I have installed and uninstalled at least 5 AV products on my Vista x64 Ultimate. They all claim "support" for my OS, yet each one shows multiple threads / programs under the Task Manager as *32.
BLEH. I found a nice firewall that's x64 native, but no AV, no antispyware x64. The firewall is Lavasoft PS Firewall 3. Berry nice. Even shows current network activity. Suggestions? I read somewhere that CA has a 64 bit suite. Someone PLEASE tell me it's really 64. BTW, if you're going to suggest something, make sure it's x64, I don't want anything *32. Even DirectoryOpus is pure x64. Of all the apps that I use daily, QuickCam is half 32 half 64, Skype is 32, iPhone crap is 32, and of course IE / Firefox, since there is no x64 FLASH (total BS). |

Hello,
I am using BitDefender TotalSecurity 2008 and the version I have is intended for x64 systems. So far it is working fine. CounterSpy is a spyware program that supports x64 as well. |

Ummm...I fail to see the problem here...
Nod32 for 64bit Vista shows as ekrn.exe *32 in the Process list but that does not mean it's any less effective on a 64bit system. Nod 32 is widely considered by security experts as top-o-the heap for AV products and I've worked as an Independant Malware tester for major AV products for over 8 years until 2004. Still, the fact that the av resident kernel mode is acting as a 32bit process does nothing to inhibit your protection, so basically just go with whatever AV product you wish that offers a 64bit version. In most cases (probably all in fact) you'll find that it's only the AV's GUI that is actually running as a 64bit process and the kernel mode is 32bit. |
