I think I got bit defender to work this time, things still seem buggy right now, lots of stuff to do, like bios updates etc

It's free and it works great. I don't see the sense in paying for something when the freeware works this well.

Kaspesrky works fine for me. AVS (AOL) worked too when it was available.

I'm pretty NOD has separate downloads for 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Check that you got the right one. I used to use NOD on Vista 64-bit. It definitely works.

I'm on Kaspersky Antivirus 2009 right now, and that works.

I just got a new system as well and removed nortons to put on AVG.

I am a long time lurker but registered to try to find more 64bit software. Going to scour on here some more.

Was it Norton 2009? If so, you sure downgraded going to AVG.

Email their support, they have an exe that will fix the problem and install it properly. I had to do this when I went from 08 -> 09. Sent them an email explaining the problem and 24 hours later 'free' copy of 09 that works with 64-bit Vista.
