Stonebow Witham:

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2 and 1.4 work but they run as

administrator, A-squared Free works and Defender works. Have a great day.

Re: Spyware?

 

How can you tell what version of Defender is currently installed? In the

"About Box" it does not state "x64" (I am running Vista Ultimate x64 and

have Defender installed)? Is there a way to check this?

Re: Spyware?

 

I still see nothing that indicates 64-bit. It only says file version:

1.1.1505.0. Does that mean I am running a 32-bit version.

Hi TJD,

 

If it's in Program Files, then it's 64 bit. 32 bit programs are installed

in Program Files (x86).

Also when it is running in Task Manager, if it is 32-bit it says so and

64-bit shows blank

Re: Spyware?

 

Thanks to you both. I did not realize the Task Manager listing convention.
