Every one I've tried runs the same on 64-bit Windows, including current 
MacAfee ( except for none of the disasters like it provokes on 32 bits), 
and clamav (either the one inside cygwin or the separate one).  AMD has 
been running radio ads around here claiming that you get better virus 
protection when running 32-bit AV on 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit 
machine.  Some think they did it just to see if they could drive our 
management insane.

I don't know how you can see a false positive in with today's sober.p barrage.
