Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you have any info on which performs better, or is each product -- Avast and NOD 32 -- about the same?

I would go for Avast.

I don't think ANY AV benefits from X64, so I wouldn't base a decision on what to run on that.

Avast is mediocre at best.

I always recommend VBA32 or DrWeb.. Nod32 is ok though.

my vote goes to NOD32 ... slim, fast, and relieble ...

Will the big companies (i.e. Symantec and McAfee) offer 64 compatible software come their new releases for 2006?
