AntiVirus for 64-Bit Windos XP Pro ? ? ? ?

[Big Rick Rock]

Ok,


So I got a powerhouse of a Laptop at a great price. The catch is that it came with Vista... Less than two weeks later I was fed up with fucking Vista and wanted OUT.

I wanted to go back to XP, but was repeatedly told that XP would not read all of the 4G of RAM in the Laptop. So I opted to go with 64-Bit XP Pro so that the 64-Bit system would be able to read all of my RAM.

Now I can't install any antivirus on it!

I own a license for PCTools and another one for Norton 360... Neither of them is now compatible with my system!

What is a good Antivirus to get for this OS now? I'm affraid of my LapTop catching a cold.

Don't believe the hype, Vista is fine. I went from XP to Vista, I actually prefer Vista.

xp will read all 4 gigs, after sp3, my 4 gig machine running 32 bit xp reads it fine. 64 bit is garbage for most users because of incompatibility. Just go back to 32 bit.

64 > 32

64 is just a hassle.

So no Antivirus for this machine?

I already have the 64-Bit version and there aint much I don about it now mang. I'm using all of my 32-Bit license on my other systems.

64-Bit seems to run fast as hell, but thats probably because it is a fresh install. I LOVE a fresh install!
When I got the machine back it had nothing on the Desktop but the "Recycle Bin" icon. Feels like slipping the panties off a virgin's hip.

May I ask what is so wrong with vista?

I recently got a new lappy top as well, it has vista. I have not had any issues at all, and actually don't mind the vista.
Why all the hate?

Fresh installs are a beautiful thing....especially with the kind of hardware your rockin. I'm sure there's an antivirus, just gotta find it.

I don't know whats wrong with it either. It just crashed on me a coupel of times per day, and then eventually 7x in one night and then 10x the next day. I had to put my system on the shelf.
The blue screen of death and wasted work just kept attacking my progress. File after file just kept getting lost in between the progress being saved. Rough drafts of e-mails and even PMs were lost just seconds before I clicked the "Send" button. A error blue screen telling me to so stuff to fix my system and that it was shutting down kept appearing... It was too much.

I will go back to Vista one day when they fix it all. Till then I am happy be living in XP.
