64-bit Protection | Print this page |
Many antivirus vendors do not yet have full 64-bit support for their complete line of products. ESET is one of the vendors who support 64-bit system in all of our products. If you are already running this platform, or you are deciding to purchase them right now, it will be NOD32 that can offer you comprehensive functionality.
If you need a high performance platform for your business or personal applications, then 64-bit hardware and operating systems are going to be on your list. They offer more data per clock cycle, large memory support up to 128 GB of RAM and 16 terabytes of virtual memory, and the flexibility to run 32-bit applications as well.
On contrary to most 32-bit applications all antivirus applications for this platform must be rewritten because they need access to system kernel. Most antivirus vendors have not offered compatible solution yet, or they have offered only the protection on the server level leaving their customers unprotected against infiltrations.
