    Looking at the system requirements on websites of the programs I have on my computer (Vista) currently:

    SpywareBlaster is compatible with Windows 7
    Malwarebytes is compatible with Windows 7

    Avast Free Edition is not compatible with Windows 7
    SuperAntiSpyware is not compatible with Windows 7
    CCleaner is not compatible with Windows 7

    So can you really not use those three programs on Windows 7 64-bit :confused:

    If not mistaken, CCleaner has been confirmed 100% to work with Windows 7 32bit and 64bit. Piriform(CCleaner company) said it. Many users here have tested CCleaner on Windows 7.
    SuperAntiSpyware, it said here, http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/tech/
    Avast! Home Edition, it said here, http://www.filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/tech/
