I recently installed MBAM on a vista 64 OS. It seemed to install and run ok.
I read somewhere today it's only compatible with 32 bit systems.
Any info on that?

Thanks!

Technically, MBAM will scan for and remove malware on 64-bit editions of Windows, but none of the drivers that it uses for things like Direct Disk Access or delete on reboot will work. Not a huge problem though, as malware and viruses have the same problem on 64-bit editions of Windows and are easier to remove.

Also note that, due to restrictions in 64-bit editions of Windows, our protection module also does not work in it.

Thanks for the quick reply!
