We spoke about Zone Alarm and apparently Free version doesn't work on 64 bit operating system.

Is therere way around, or is there another program like Zone Alarm that works on 64 bit?

Kaspersky is pretty good. Have sold it to quite a few clients. For the record, most 32 bit software should work fine. I'm assuming you are wanting software to work with Vista 65 bit? If so, Vista creates a second folder for any 32 bit Applications. (one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit).

Is there a "valid" reason to use the 64 bit version of Vista? Our experiance has been pretty negative with it.

Click to expand...

Software that hook into the kernel and have deep interaction with the OS such as firewall required 64 bits version to go with the OS .. 32 wont work.

So COMODO is good news for security.
ROE, thank you very much for link to page.

I don't seem to be able to help with that changing Vista from 64 to 32 bit for certain applications.

Where could we find it?
I typed : windows 32 bit, but there was no match in help.
