Resolved About MS Security Essentials

Hi folks,

On MS Security Essentials
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/support.aspx?mkt=en-us#mainNav

I can't find 64bit version for 64bit WinXP. What can I do using 32bit instead? Does it work?

TIA

On the basis of my research - No.

There is no 64 bit version of MSE for XP x64 - there is for Vista and Windows 7 x64.

A very good question. I tried to find if there was a 64 bit system requirement and drew a blank. I can only assume that it works on all XP, Vista & W7.
If you download and install, surely it will tell you if it can't support 64 bit. Neil.

If you want to wade through this thread .....

you will find confirmation that MSE 32 bit does not run on XP x64.

Thanks Pete, I just found that link and it answers the question definitively. Neil.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your advice.

I tried installing MS Security Essentials on 64bit WinXP but failed. It worked on 32bit WinXP without problem. AVG home edition works on 64bit WinXP
