There are several, I belive ClamWin, Avast and McAfee have all released
64 bit versions along with some others. I believe there will be more
along soon.

I can't recommend any as I've not tried them all but I think there are
some here who can tell you which works best.

I have tried Mcafee and looked at ca-etust as well, but both are 32 bit
software that are compatible with win64 and are not native 64bit software.
They do the work for now because there are minute number of 64bit viruses at
the moment. However the 64bit viruses will increase in number very soon and
that is why I am looking for a native 64bit antivirus software

Trend have replied that they are working on a version of PC Cillin Internet
Security 2005, but release date is unknown. (Bu**er, I have a 10 license
package too)

Symantic/Norton Antivirus Corporate Ver 10 has the client application for
x64 platform since march 2005.
Problem is they only sell minimum 10 user.

I guess that if you feel it's reasonable, you could do as I do and buy a
single pc version of their latest product to get a valid license, and later
update it.
Meantime, if you know how, search for "pzh-sace10" on the
alt.binaries.cd.image newsgroups and use the x64client.

CA has a native x64 version of eTrust. We use it internally at Microsoft.
