Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic from PCTools have both had a new build version updates and possibly one of the most exciting updates for a while, both programs are now supported in 64bit Windows Vista. But before diving in too quickly, Spyware Doctor has a couple of reported bugs to be ironed out, the main issue I encountered was that it crashed Google Chrome, this is only affected in the 64bit version. The next build should fix that and be available soon, 32bit Windows users, get your updates now,
The updates are for paid subscribers, the free starter edition available from Google hasn’t received the 64bit update.
