Which version of Windows Defender do I choose?

[Guest]

How do I derermine which version of Windows Defender to choose from? What
does x64 mean?
For additional information, my system is Window XP Media Center SP2, with
Intel Core 2 Duo processorT5500, internet explorer 6.
Can anyone tell me whether I should choose x64 WD or the original WD?

Hello Isabelle,

The 64-bit version is for 64-bit OS versiºns. Is named Windows Defender64.msi

The 32-bit version is for the 99% of the users is named Windows Defender.msi

I hope this post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.

Choose the 32-bit version.

actually if you pick the 64 bit version (or visa versa) and you are running
32bit xp version it will come back and tell you it cannot install- it will
say something like- This version is not for your operating system.

That's true, and we have far more questions here than I would expect from
the folks who've done that.
