I have allways used Mcafee virus and Webroot Spysweeper but I don't think they will work with XP 64. Thanks in advance Mark ID: 711428 ·

I have allways used Mcafee virus and Webroot Spysweeper but I don't think they will work with XP 64. Thanks in advance Mark I run XP64 and I use Avira AntiVirÃ‚Â® PersonalEdition Classic which works on 32 and 64-bit systems (the site is German, so select English language in the drop down box to the left if you need English). It's Free for Personal non-commercial use. [edit]For Antispyware...I do my surfing with Firefox and some of their plug-ins, and don't feel a need for Antispyware. I force cookies to expire at end-of-session unless I specifically want them saved. I run Adaware if my system gets bogged down.[/edit] ID: 711436 ·

I use Avast as It works in XP x64 and I use It on all My PCs as It's FREE. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's ID: 711453 ·

I think it runs in 32bit mode though. Have to check to be sure and I'm not on that machine at the moment. Daniel ID: 711504 ·
