  1. Will this application work with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit edition? Specs are: 4 GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20 gHz processor, and a 320 GB hard disk. Has a 512MB video Graphics Card. Thanks, would appreciate your response.

  2. No…. you need at least a quad core. Maybe a 3 core would do tough… or you could try overclocking your hard disks

    Before our Win7 Dell Laptop was broken (I use Win 8.1 now), i tried it and it works. Looks like Win8 XD

    Also, works in Win8. Best Anti Start Ever
