What version of Symantec Antivirus are you running? I know that the newer versions - SEP v. 11 and above - will download x64 definitions automatically, but I'm not sure about the 10.x and earlier versions.

Just double-checked the Symantec support website, and it states that 64-bit clients cannot receive updates from the Symantec System Center. So, this applies if you are running SAVCE 10.x or below:<br />

Ah crap we are running 10.1.6000 on the 32bit server.<br />
<br />
Do you know then how one would do this? Would I have to upgrade the Parent Server to 11.x? or what about running 64bit server with 32bit clients?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a 32 bit server that now manages one x64bit client.<br />
<br />
The client server has no problem finding the parent antivirus server however the server does not update the clients virus definitions. The client has shown up in the console for a few days now.<br />
<br />
Can someone assist?<br />
<br />
Thanks a ton

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
