The behaviour-based detection technology Avira ProActiv, which is integrated into the the products Avira Antivirus Premium, Avira Internet Security and Avira Professional Security right now is only available for 32 bit systems.
There are technical reasons which prevent the support on 64 bit systems:
The module right now uses so called kernel hooks to monitor the system. Those kernel hooks are not available on 64 bit systems. Work on a technical solution for Windows Vista and Windows 7 64 bit systems are in progress. However, at the moment no statement concerning the availability can be given.
