    Just installed AVG Free on Vista x64 as the following forum from Grisoft mentioned " AVG Free is possible to install on 64-bit systems."

    http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?7,78862,backpage=,sv=

    I looked at the processes in task manager and discovered that it was running as a 32bit software i.e avgcc*32 . The installation also placed the AVG folder in C:\Program Files(x86) earlier on.

    1) Is the virus checking capability going to be affected as it may not detect 64bit viruses (if there are any)?
    2) Should i go back to avast! Free which has native 64 bit support? I switched to AVG for the less memory usage.
