3rd party utilities for Win XP Pro 64: backup and anti-virus?

[Guest Ken]

I will be installing a new system and have no experience with the 64-bit

version, only the 32-bit version.

 

On my 32-bit system I use NOD32 for my virus checking program and

Acronis True Image as my backup program. Does anyone know if these

programs run on Win XP Pro 64? If not, anyone have recommendations?

 

(Do viruses run on a 64-bit system???)

 

Thanks

Acronis True Image Home works on x64 XP.

There is a 64-bit version of NOD32 which will work with your current licence

key http://www.eset.com/download/home-64bit.php

Just to add I am using ESET NOD32 64 bit edition here on x64 and it is

excellent. The name is a bit off-putting but it is 64 bit if you down-load

the right one :-)

I like NOD32 a lot. Glad to hear it works without problems.
