Vista 64 Firewalls, Anti Spyware, etc

MDK22 · May 31, 2008

I am planning on opening up a computer building business making machines that actually do what they are supposed to and are mad with good brands. I am looking for Vista 64 compatible security software. Mainly a firewall, anti-spyware, and registry protection.

Because of WOW64 nearly everything 32-bit is compatible with Vista x64.

Yep, but there are the few rare things which do not work. I had an old 32 bit game which didn't work. I suspect it used old 32 bit commands which WOW64 doesn't support. But overall most stuff works perfectly, it just installs and runs it as a 32 bit application. All 32 (x86) programs are installed in Program Files (x86), so you can tell the difference.

Games maybe, especially if they are very old and made for Windows 98. We're talking about security software here though. Everything current should work for Vista x64.
