  • 1.  [SAV 10.2 x64] 'Scan for viruses' not implemented in Explorer

    Posted May 13, 2009 07:28 AM
    Is anyone here running Symantec AntiVirus on Vista 64 Ultimate SP1?

    I use to be able to right click on either a drive, folder or file and select 'Scan for viruses' but now it doesn't show up at all, I check my 32-bit version of Vista and it shows the Scan for Viruses on right click but not my 64-bit version of Vista. Is this a limitation of 64-bit? Or do I have to configurate something?

    Best regards,
    DWM IT

    That's limitations of SAV on 64 bit platform.

    Reference:
    Symantec AntiVirus 10.x and Symantec Client Security 3.x 64-bit architecture support

    Okay, no support for
    So, this means x64 SAV is useless for Scanning my Emails (via POP from Outlook)?

    not useless but seriously limited.
    it will scan all the attachments when you try to open them but may have problems with embedded JavaScript etc.
