    Anyone have any info in this or tried it? I was browsing their forum and beta area and noticed that there was a 64 bit beta download available at http://beta.drweb.com/ allowing with the following notes...

    Guess I'll download/install it and see if my computer blows up. :cautious:

    lol. Well I installed it and it appears to be a full suite for 64 bit. I did not install the firewall portion. Wasn't brave enough since I do not have a current back up of my Windows install. The link scanner and tamper protection modules did not install. Ran it for 24hrs and it seemed fine, however, web browsing seemed a bit slow. Went back to Avast for now.

    Any word on how the 64 bit beta is going? I frequent the Dr.Web forum but unfortunately the majority of the posts in the beta section are in Russian. Is there any time frame set for the final release of the 64 bit version? Guess I'll go back to beta testing.

    Seems to be running good so far, other than self-protection and context menu not working yet.

    Yep, the beta area has the full suite. I don't have any interesting screen shots as I did not install the full suite.

    I asked about the license on their forum. There should be a new one soon on the beta download page.

    For now I have uninstalled it since I still have an active license from another vendor. On a side note, I did have issues with the uninstall process. I had to disable self-protection to uninstall it properly. Also the uninstall process left a DrWeb folder in C:\Program Files (x86) that I could not delete manually, kept getting "access denied" when trying to delete it, even is safe mode. Their uninstall tool did the trick though, which can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/tools/drw_remover.exe
