anti Virus "James Johnson" <jamesone[ at ]cableone.net> 12/12/2008 10:57:43 AM Hi Everyone, Are there any really good 64 bit anti virus programs? I've seen some that are 32 bit but 64 bit compatible. But wondering if I could find a native 64 bit one if that would be better. Thanks for you help Jim

RE: anti Virus Carlos 12/12/2008 11:34:00 AM James, Avast (http://www.avast.com/index.html) is really good 64-bit native Antivirus program. There is even a free "home" edition available with most of the "professional" edition available. http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html It is used and recommended by many regulars in this newsgroup.

Re: anti Virus "John Barnes" <jbfoofy[ at ]nomailemail.com> 12/13/2008 2:18:20 PM I agree with Carlos, it is a good A/V. Due to the level at which they operate they have to be 64-bit, but as Avast can have 32-bit components (e.g. the GUI component ashdisp.exe).

Re: anti Virus "Don" <burnettedclothes[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/13/2008 2:26:47 PM I changed to Avast fairly recently as well, and so far have been very pleased with it. -- Don "John Barnes" <jbfoofy[ at ]nomailemail.com> wrote in message news:eiOvdySXJHA.4380[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: anti Virus Carlos 12/13/2008 4:35:39 PM And it gets installed in "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\" which implies 64-bit. :) Carlos "John Barnes" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I agree with Carlos, it is a good A/V.
