Window Washer February 18, 2009
Same issue. Works fine for XP but Vista 64Bit will not work. Hard to believe. Now looking for a new program to use on my Vista. Calling Webroot for technical asistance is even more difficult. Call early in the AM.

Failed to work November 8, 2008
I have owned an older version for XP which worked great so I bought this version for my new computer which has Vista Home Premium 64BIT.. Installed fine, didn't work. Updated to the newest version for free and still didnt work. It thinks that it's working. It displays that the wash is completed but its all blank. After email to webroot help, I recieved links to other problems that are different from mine, and for only $29.95 they will resolve this issue for me when I call. Very disapointed ! Maybe it doesn't work with the 64bit version of vista ?

Webroot has stated that Window Washer 6.5 (latest) does not support 64 bit OS. It's a great product for XP 32bit, however. It installs on Vista 64 and appears to work but does not delete any files. Pity.

Does not function on 64-bit OS
Flat out will not work, no support. Avoid software with tepid management like this at all costs, it's a money pit.

WARNING: WILL NOT WORK ON 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS
I used to love this, so I feel bad needing to give it a 1 right now.

However, they do not support 64-bit Windows operating systems as of Nov 2009. Read more
