Vista 64 security

Have bought a computer running Vista 64-bit and would prefer to install the same security software as our other PCs, ZoneAlarm and AVG8, but neither of these support Vista 64-bit.

Is there any free security software available worth considering?

    Not sure I understand the problem with AVG. According to Grisoft, AVG supports Vista 64 bit.

    As for firewall there's a 64 bit version of Comodo.

    ZoneAlarm & AVG8 !!!!!
    You should never install both on same PC as they will conflict with each other!

    What??? I'm assuming the OP is talking about AVG antivirus and ZoneAlarm firewall, i.e. what each are commonly known for and those products do different things entirely and do not conflict with each other.

    Agreed & apologies for confusion!
    ZoneAlarm Free Firewall & AVG Free DO NOT conflict.
    ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 & AVG Internet Security DO Conflict!

    Doh! You're right. Can't remember why I thought Vista 64 was not supported but it is.

    Sorry for not being precise.

    ZoneAlarm Free Firewall & AVG Free is what I'm using (on XP & Vista 32).
