Windows X64 Software Issues

SEO2006 · 06-26-2006, 08:12 AM

Hey all...

Just bought myself a new pc, as I wanted 4GB of ram I had to have Windows X64 - Oh hell!

Got the beast running and run she does! Boots up in seconds, downloads in seconds, installs in seconds BUT! Norton doesn't support X64 yet.

Had to use Avast! Antivirus which i'm not fully ok with and don't trust yet.

Anybody know of a good X64 antivirus program that you've tried and tested?

Also found conflicts with webcam drivers, not that it was used much but i'd still like to have the ability to use it if i wish, damn thing!

Just wondered about the antivirus software thing and also if any of you guys run X64? Your views if you do?

You will get an absolute ton of problems with drivers etc, once you get it working though X64 is fantastic, I would install it on mine but I wont bother changing till Vista comes out, my dual core processor is wasted no XP Home.

I think I did manage to get Norton installed on mine but it took some drive swapping to get it working...

The best other I could recommend would be Sophos (www.sophos.com). Works well and isnt intrusive which is why I hate Norton.
