64-bit version of Avast Free Antivirus for Windows?
« on: April 08, 2017, 11:27:54 AM »
Hi, I'm running Windows 10 64-bit, and Avast Free Antivirus shows up in my Task Manager as being 32-bit. Is there a 64-bit version?

There isn't a native 64bit version, a question that has been frequently asked.

When avast is installed on a 64bit OS avast recognises that and it has drivers, etc. for 64bit and they are installed as opposed to the 32bit version.
