Just trying to clarify. First time I posted when it came out, there was

How do you obtain this for home use? I don't have 10 computers at home,
so I wouldn't want to purchase 10 licenses, which is their minimum.

grabs between Macfee and Symantec.

Only Corporate Versions of Norton Anti-Virus and Mcafee Virusscan support
X64. I tried installing the Beta Version of Mcafee Virusscan 10.0 for Home
Users on X64 (preview.mcafee.com) and it Popped up an Error Message that I
do not have a Compatible Operationg System for it. I am currently using
Avast 4.6 on X64 Edition without any problems at all (avast.com).

Express in X64).

Kevin:

It takes a little time to get used to but at work my main work
programs didn't have spell check. I developed the habit of keeping a blank
Word document open then copy and paste back and forth.
