i'll look into it now, dont think i've ever tried i'll try on my 64-bit os now but i didnt think you could do that in 32-bit either. actually you prolly could scan a folder, but not a file. lemme see i'll get back Additional Comment: nah i dont get a scan with option with mbam on 64-bit (windows 7). dont get it on 32-bit xp either? hmm

The OP said he didn't want to post where he got this info from but did not cover his tracks very well. Quote: All this information sourced from another site, for respect reasons I will not mention it here as it will look like advertising but if you wish to find out more information about x64 bit software or if you have any questions then just reply to the topic. Like I said though it is good info.

Has anyone tried the Spybot S&D antispyware program for vista x64?

i use spybot search and destroy aswell as ad aware se personal.both work great on my 64 bit system.i generally run them once a week directly after one another.make sure you update them first.if one fails to pick up an undesiarable,the other catches it.couldnt ask for much more as they are both free ....ok,just ran that bazooka programe,it detected ''systemDir.explorer,and system.regedit'' ideas anyone?

Cheers, just making the switch to Vista Ultimate 64 now so this has saved me a few quid :-) Running Win7 64 on a dual boot and it's looking really good! Much quicker than I expected.
