    In Symantec endpoint Protection 11.0, why doesn't support proactive threat protection support the server and windows xp x64 OS? because of technical problem or simply developer's will?

    Because of some technical problem....

    Have a look at these KBs also

    Proactive Threat Protection status shows "OFF" in the client interface

    Is TruScan compatible with Windows Server operating systems?

    I believe it has to do with Windows new feature for the kernel, PatchGuard.

    Due to Patch Guard, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 does not have poller keylogger detections on 64-bit platforms
