Re: just an fyi

 

Excuse me, but I am running Windows Live One Care on Vista Ultimate x64. I

am running Avast on a test box under Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 RC Refresh 2.

Nod32 and AVG also are running on VU x64 for various of the regulars in this

newsgroup. I don't understand why your installation does not run a variety

of antivirus solutions.

I am puzzled. I have no problem running Avast or Eset's Nod32 on XP 64 bit

or Vista 64 bit.

As others have said, Avast works fine.

There's also Windows Defender. I run 'em both.

I'll Chime in......Version 2 of Once Care working just fine here on my

Ultimate 64Bit machine. However it is true that anything prior to version

two would not even install on 64 Bit Vista. They (Microsoft) made a point

of 64Bit support being offered in version 2.
