| NIS 2008 on 64 Bit Vista
Sorry, I feel like I've been Mr. 64 Bit the last week with all of the questions 
Is anyone using NIS2008 on Vista 64? Do you know if all of the features are working (in particular, right click scanning and Norton Identity Safe)?
Thanks in advance! |

| I have NIS2008 running on Vista Premium 64 and I have to say that following features are not working if you use IE64:
1. Phishing Filter of NIS2008
2. Browser Defender - I´m not really sure...
3. Default start of IE - that means, if you use a link in a mail it will start the IE7-32Bit. See here also.
4. Identity Safe is permanently prompting although I did deny the question to use it. This feature is also available only if you use IE7-32Bit.
I´m not pleased with this and did change from NIS2008 to Windows Live-OneCare on my Ultimate 64-system.

1 edit | Be careful of OneCare though. While I loved OneCare from a performance / AV standpoint, it has a nasty habit of changing your IE settings (.NET Framework settings under the Internet zone, to be exact) from Disabled (if you set them that way) to enabled.
Windows 64 uses the 32 bit browser by default, probably for compatibility / usability purposes. I don't get it either, but can't blame that one on Norton.
I need to figure out why Identify Safe isn't working. I don't want to store passwords in IE, so I thought that was a nice feature. |

I did read your warnings (thanks for it) but I have to see that the installation of OneCare did change nothing in my IE64-settings. And now the default-browser is the IE64. I would assume that NIS2008 is the causer for the changing to IE7-32Bit.
