| | Antivirus software inluding firewall for Vista 64-bit Does anybody know any antivirus software (full protection packagae including firewall) able to work with Vista Home Premium 64-bit? Having purchased Vista in April, first I used GData. After a couple o f weeks some problems with its firewall module occurred. The GData technical support advised me to remove the complete software and reinstall GData without the firewall module. Since then I have been using GData without the firewall module although I have paid for a full protection package! And the GData support has never contacted me again though they promissed me to analyse my problem and to come back with a solution. According to what I was able to find out, the Norton Internet Secuirty does not support Vista 64-bit. Marcus |

| | RE: Antivirus software inluding firewall for Vista 64-bit http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-antiv...ows-vista.html An interesting article for you to read. Avast now supports Vista 64 bit version. No firewall, but I like Vista'a firewall anyway. The 32 bit version is brilliant, and was great in XP as well. It runs rings around Norton, Trend Micro, etc. "Marcus" wrote: > Does anybody know any antivirus software (full protection packagae including > firewall) able to work with Vista Home Premium 64-bit? > > Having purchased Vista in April, first I used GData.

Works great under Vista x64 and is very secure. Or if you are just after AV, look at Kaspersky Anti-Virus. -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) |

| | Re: Antivirus software inluding firewall for Vista 64-bit I know I'm going to get flak for recommending it, but I'm using it (32-bit) and it works great! Nothing like Norton of the past. Norton 360 supports 64-bit: Operating Systems Supported WindowsR XP Home/XP Pro/XP Media 2005+ 32 bit, Windows VistaT Home Basic/ Home Premium/Business/Ultimate 32 and 64 bit*** ***Additional Windows Vista Requirements Must meet minimum Windows Vista operating system requirements Phishing protection feature available only on 32 bit Explorer -------------- Useless Invention: Inflatable PC -- The Ultimate Laptop!

I used to use ZonAlarm with it, but give that the Vista firewall is now two-way, I don't bother using anything else. |
