64bit Internet Security Software

[Rip_Uk]

I cant find an internet security program (virus scanner/firewall etc.) that is compatible with my operating system (Win xp 64)

Does anyone know of one?

I don't think there's an all-in-one program, but there's Avast antivirus and Tiny firewall.

is avast any good? is it free?

 

[Buzz1927]

Yes, it's good and it's free, it even talks to you when it updates!

i have being using avast now for nearly a week and when i start it up it wont let me use the program until i buy it lol. It isnt free. Do you know of any other 64bit antivirus programs? even if they are not free.

avast is good. also there is nod32 which is very fast and symantec also good.

however i dont use a virus scanner for 64 bit, because it feels safe.

That's weird, are you sure you downloaded the free version?

 

[Rip_Uk]

yeah it stopped after a week. Ill try nod32

 

[Buzz1927]

I don't think Nod works in 64 bit. As far as I know, Avast is the only one, but I'll see if I can find anything else.

Edit: Nod does work with 64bit, here's the link for a 30 day trial.
