    In 2012 there is little to no point in parts of it running in 32bit and parts that are needed in 64bit (reading above KB).

    32bit Apps run in a software emulation mode called Wow64 in a 64bit OS which can be slower in some cases than a native 32bit App in a 32bit OS.

    I see it as lazy coding the 64bit builds of ESET's software still partially runs 32bit in this day and age.
