Yes, there is no question. It is native 64-bit and I have gotten support
for it on x64 from CA. It was the first AV certified and supported fully by
any of the vendors.
One thing to note is that if you go to CA's website and navigate to the Home
User page you will be told by the live chat support agent that x64 is not
supported because that site deals only with EZTrust. You must visit the
Small and Medium Business page before you can find eTrust 7.1 support and
info.
This is why some folks claim that they contacted CA and x64 is not
supported. They visited the wrong CA group.
