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."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

As for firewall there's a 64 bit version of Comodo."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

ZoneAlarm & AVG8 !!!!!
You should never install both on same PC as they will conflict with each other!0 -

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."She is quite the oddball.

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