    Antivirus for Vista x64?

    ive tried the 2 that microsoft recommend and the pc-cillin one installs, but wont load, just sits in the systray saying loading, and the e-trust EZ one wont even download

    does anyone know of any working antivirus software for x64 vista?

    im going to hunt for a working applications list for it as well while im at it.

    cheers

    I know NOD32 has X64 compatibility, now whether it works for Vista or not is a different matter.

    Tried NOD32 and it's startup scans made life miserable. Tried to disable them, it ignored me... big mistake as it's now uninstalled. gah!

    i use avast too - it's free, but hasn't had good reviews. still, i am pretty careful about what i download (no bittorrent lol!) and it's hard to argue at that price. unfortunately the free version of avg won't work, although the paid-for one does
