has anyone used avast or avira on windows 7 x64

[winterlord]

was wondering if anyone has tried either avast or avira on 64bit windows. i think i may try one of those and wondered if it worked well. also i have prevx, gonna be trying it out. but wont be buying it till payday and was wondering if im running that if that will cover my anti-virus portion or if i need somethin like avast or avira as well

Avast runs very well on my 64-bit machine. Avira does, too, but the WebGuard will cause slowdown when loading some pages. You can install without the WebGuard.

I like Prevx, but I prefer to use a sig-based AV with Prevx's in-the-cloud approach.

You're welcome! Yep, you can run them both. Sometimes incompatibilities with Prevx crop up, but they are rare.

Avira works just fine on Win 7 RTM x64. :D

I installed Avast on my first Windows 7 64-bit install and it worked great! I had major issues after removing Avast to try Avira on that install, but it is important to note that I was trying a very new Beta version of Avira at the time.

On my latest install I have Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx. Both work great with no issues.
