Just installed it to replace my Nod32.

First impressions? It can't be more n00b-proof then that.
No settings, no options, nothing. Just a big green checkmark saying your fine and a scan button...

I see, no support for 64 bits.

Thanks, I'll stick with COMODO and my false positives.

"64-bit CPUs have existed in supercomputers since the 1960s and in RISC-based workstations and servers since the early 1990s. In 2003 they were introduced to the (previously 32-bit) mainstream personal computer arena, in the form of the x86-64 and 64-bit PowerPC processor architectures."

No, of course not. But RISC-Based Computers still do (PowerPC machines are RISC-based mind you.) But I run an x64 Phenom X3.

Also, if you DO run a 64-bit computer, you get this nice message:

I am sorry but I just don't get it. Why can't you run a 32bit application on a 64bit system? 64bits is higher than 32bits and why some machines have 32bits and some have 64bits? It just don't make sense to me. Is 64bit better than 32bit and why don't all machines have 64bit or 32bit if its better?

Maybe it's just the program.

Or MAYBE, just MAYBE, Panda Cloud Antivirus has a kernel-like application similar to what COMODO CIS boasts or driver software that needs to be installed (like on COMODO as well), which means that they need to code it into 64 bits in order for anything to run.

Is it reasonable to run on a netbook? I've really been having issues with that lately...
