Hi,


Does anyone know wether or not BitDefender 10 is compatible with the 64 bit version of XP?

    BitDefender isn't YET compatible with XP nor Vista 64bit. But a build for 64bit compatibility is on the way. ;)

    A question: Why doesn't BitDefender (or any other application that does not support 64-bit OS) run on Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64 via the WOW64 interface which would allow 32-bit applications to run in a 64-bit OS?


    I was just wondering...

    Good Question!! Also is there a estimated time of completion for the BitDefender 64 project?

    Anti-virus software is tightly coupled to the OS kernel (as are device drivers). So, just like device drivers, anti-virus software needs to be rewritten for the 64-bit kernel. Probably a significantly bigger job than changing a compiler flag.
