I use Office 2010 64-bit. For performance and capability reasons, I cannot use 32-bit. When will NIS support Outlook 2010 64-bit?

Please don't shoot the messenger -
Sorry, there is no support for x64 in any of the current Norton products.
I know there is no 64-bit support. My question is when, if ever, there will be 64-bit support? It is now 2012, Outlook 2010 64-bit is over 2 years old and is very much a main stream product. Security solutions should support it.

Hi,
The product may be two years old but it is not the majority email program for those who use Outlook. Norton has already said that x64 support is only a matter of time. They don't say how much time but, as more users move to x64 and more corporations upgrade/update their networks the support will come. Til then
Stay well and surf safe
I am also mad about the lack of support 2 years ago but since Using Outlook 2010 x64 for 2 years.
I see no need for the support. The Junk filer updates from Microsoft have been doing a great job. Plus all my connections are secure connections using SSL and encrypted exchange connection. Most of the scanning of viruses are done on the server side so I see no use of Norton in Outlook.
My personal yahoo account scans for viruses using Norton on the server side. I mean it would be great for the support but its not the thing that is holding me back since 2 years of no support was okay that if product costs more because of it I would buy it.
Here was my thread two years ago:
Also I waiting for Windows 8 to make a decision to choose a different vendor if Symantec fails in providing a product in time which I would hate since I am Symantec user since 2003.
The only thing really missing from the 64 bit email program support is the spam filtering.
Your computers are still protected from malware by the resident scanners that will kick in if any malware trys to run.
I have the same problem. This week I upgraded to the 2012 version of Norton Internet Security from 2011 since my license key was due to expire and I found a very good deal on the latest version from a reputable vendor.
In the previous version, Outlook was fine and was happily able to receive email. Ever since I installed the latest version, I've been unable to retrieve email using Outlook 2010 64-bit as Outlook continuously pops up prompts for credentials to each of my maill accounts (all POP3). I know it's not a credentials problem, as the same credentials allow me to retrieve messages on my smartphone (with Norton Mobile Security).
What changed between the 2011 and 2012 versions of the software and is there a workaround so that at least the Antivirus portion of the product can scan incoming messages? If not, is there a way that I can install the previous version of the product (2011) with the new license key I acquired when I purchased the 2012 version?
Based upon my research in this form, although it would be nice to have the AntiSpam component functional, it's not as big of a requirement since I can implement a workaround for that missing component using mailing rules, and increasing filtering at the ISP level. However, the AntiVirus scanning is my biggest concern.
Thanks

As I noted above, the antivirus protection of NIS is covered by the real time scanners of NIS. There is no direct connection with any email client. Any time you try to access a suspect or known bad attachment, you will be notified.
