64 bit suites-av's

I'm getting ready to pick up a 64 bit machine what runs well on this & I'm not talking detection, my default AV is Nod but I like running others, thanks...

 

F-PROT runs smooth n light on 64 bit

 

Kaspersky, Panda, Comodo, Vipre,Zone Alarm Extreme Security Beta,Outpost,Avira.

Take your pick

 

MBAM will run nicely along with your NOD32


Cheers

 

Avast was one of the first ones out with x64 compatible AV, Avira works well too.

 

thanks for the input, I just was not sure what was 64 bit...

 

NOD32 (and ESS) and Outpost Security Suite have native 64 bit versions. Most of the other products are 32 bit software that is 64 bit compatible.

 

BitDefender has 64-bit versions of all their anti-xxxx software products as well. I'm running BD Internet Security on my new Vista 64-bit laptop with no problems.

 

Norton and F-secure is also compatible with 64 bit..

 

I assume you're talking Vista x64. Norton 360 and Avast both run very well on it. If XP x64, then Norton won't install, nor will McAfee. Actually, McAfee and Panda both run pretty well on Vista x64 also. Avira runs well, but I had an update issue with it, so I don't use it. In general, I think you'll find most AVs will now run fine on x64. Take your pick....

 

Norton "SONAR" does not work on x64. Sonar is the real-time heruistics.

 

welll thats a buzz kill

 

Still got Bloodhound through. -- the on-demand heuristics.

 

i guerss, but real-time heur is very important IMO.

 

had only 3 SONAR detections since last summer, even when messing with dangerous malware.

 

You hear right many bad tales about AVG paid but I have it running on my 64 bit with Outpost FW.

I have not heard anything recently bad about the FW AVG suites.

 

tbh, i havent heard ANYTHING about the FW in AVG suite, nobody really talkes bout it, im a lil curious now, is it their own FW or do they use someone else FW in the suite?

 

I believe it's their own...
