Guest designermg Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Hello, Does anyone know if Windows defender will run with Windows XP 64? Also, any suggestions on which Internet Security software is compatable with and works best with Windows XP 64? I recently tried to update my Norton Internet Security 2006 to use with my new XP64 bit system and was told it is not compatable and neither is Norton 2007. I would like to use a Symantec virus protection product. I was directed to the Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.2 by the Symantec people any idea if this works?

Yes but AV software is typically more than just an application. Software like that will typically install a couple of services and a filter driver or two, and 32 bit versions of these are most certainly not likely to run on a 64 bit system.
Guest designermg Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Windows XP64 Virus Software Thank you Mark... I did speak with Symantec support and they told me Norton 2007 isn't compatible and niether is 2006. I tried to download the Norton 2007 and 2006 versions from links which I obtained from Symanted support and niether would load as they gave an error requiring a 32 bit system. In reading the sytem specifications for Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.2 I found that it is compatible with xp64.

It might have 64 bit hardware but is a 64 bit version of Windows XP installed?
