Vista Feb 06 CTP and 64-bit antivirus

[John Joyner]

Hello Vista users: Anyone running 64-bit Vista Feb 06 CTG and a 64-bit
anti-virus application successfully? Have tried AVAST and Symantec. In
both cases their current 64-bit corporate editions failed to work. AVAST
resulted in system slowdowns and lockups, Symantec resulted in BSOD loops.
(AVAST worked fine with 64-bit Vista, Nov 05 CTP, didn't try Symantec until
today.) As far as I can tell these are the only 2 vendors with 64-bit AV
that is Vista-aware, but neither seems compatable with the Feb 06 Vista CTP.
Anyone with some success to share?
Thanks, John

I am using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0i
working fine here no slowdowns or BSOD's
Try it out.
Working on XP pro x64 and on Vista 5308 x64
as well as Vista 5308 32bit

If you try ClamWin as well - [url]www.clamwin.com[/url] works really well, but doens't
offer real-time scanning :o(
Long list here as well:
