    You are correct. It is a hybrid application. I have been running with it for about a year on Vista64. I have no complaints so far.

    They claim (as copied from their website):

    ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0* is a hybrid program in that it contains both 32-bit and 64-bit program code. The engine and interface modules used by ESET NOD32 to protect a system from malware are the result of years of development to create highly-optimized x86 assembly language code. During testing, it was discovered that recompiling certain portions of the program to 64-bit code resulted in increased memory usage with no discernable improvement in performance, stability or reliability.

    When a 64-bit interface needs to be monitored, such as for on-access or Windows Socket layer scanning, 64-bit code is used to do so. As evidenced by ESET NOD32's high scanning throughput and detection rate under 64-bit operating systems, this does not cause any complications.

    The general rule-of-thumb for ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 is that parts of the program which need to run as 64-bit do, while parts which have no advantage running as 64-bit remain 32-bit code.

    I like it! I shall have t-shirts made. Thank you.

    Please note, I never said Fedreal prosecution was necessary. I notice you don't refute my initial statement: "Cuban is a Jerk." That's just my opinion. I've had that opinion for a while now. Nothing to do with this insider trading issue.

    I like to believe in a "What goes around, comes around - You reap what you sow" kind of justice. Some folks call it karma.
    It doesn't always happen, but I am amused when it does.

    How does my opinion of Mark Cuban reflect in any way on my voting record?

    Regardless, Cuban is a jerk.
    For that alone, punishment has been long overdue.

    Double salt licorice... Awesome stuff!
    I was raised on it, dad's a Dutchman.

    Although I hated wasting such a good thing, it was always fun to take some to school and give it away, only to watch the expressions of disgust as my victims realized this was no ordinary licorice.

    Good candy to have at work too. No one steals it, at least not after the first piece.

    Since it is such a small asteroid we can save some money. We don't need to send an all-star cast to blow it up, we only need to send one celebrity.
    I suggest Bruce Willis, since we can save even more money not having to worry about the return trip.
