A/V Needed For XP 64 Jeff Gaines 05-04-2008

I have just built a new PC and I'm running XP64 on it. I used F-Secure on
XP32 but it won't work on XP 64.

Any suggestions for an A/V app that will work on XP64? I considered
Kaspersky but somebody said it was a resource hog (I have a feeling that's
the engine inside F-Secure).

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

"We are glad to announce that all avast! antivirus editions, including the
free Home Edition, now fully support the new Windows x64 platform."

"Avira AntiVir Personal - FREE Antivirus (Windows 2000 / XP / Vista 32 Bit
and 64 Bit)."

I almost forgot, in addition to a 'real-time' AV application you may wish
adding a couple of outstanding 'on-demand' scanners (you'll be glad you
did), they are *freely* available!

Well, AVG and Avast both will.
Free versions and paid ones.

Symantec Antivirus (the corporate one, not the bloated end-user one) has
versions for x64 for both XP and Vista.
