Default 64bit Windows & Virus Scanners

If anyone has got Windows XP Pro x64, or Server 2003 x64, will know that finding a Anti-virus program is a bit of a pain in the rear end.

There are a few solutions.
AVGP Pro, which is the buyable version of one of the best virus scanners.

Nod - freeware, but has a program with VRay in 3D Studio Max, where it disables it. So if you're a Graphic designer - this is not the option for you.

ClamWin
- freeware also, this program is great - it's what i personally use at present. It's updated often, and is open source. Also, Firefox has a free addon to ClamWin which scans each file as you download it, which normally isn't there by default.


I'm not sure if Norton works (i dont really like norton...uses too much system resources), I know Trend Micro PC-Cillian doesn't work, at least not the personal home version that you'd have.

Avast also runs on 64 bit now:

Support for 64-bit Windows

avast! Home/Professional now fully supports the 64-bit Windows platform. ALWIL Software is anticipating massive take-up of this platform, as Windows XP 64-Bit Edition will support up to 32 GB of RAM and 16 TB of virtual memory, enabling applications to run faster when working with large data sets. Applications can preload substantially more data into virtual memory, allowing rapid access by the 64-bit extensions of the processor. This reduces the time for loading data into virtual memory or seeking, reading, and writing to data storage devices, making applications run faster and more efficiently.
