Nice thread idea GINTER.

Here is a couple of corrections and ideas.

NOD32 does indeed offer native x64 software. Both their AV and security suite are offered in both x86 and x64.

I'm pretty sure Microsofts Onecare is offered in a x64 flavor, but I cant swear to it as I really don't have any faith in it.

Norton and McAfee...who cares.

A great native x64 firewall is Comodo. It now has H.I.P.S. And has been rated one of the best. Also consider Vistas built in firewall. It is acctually very good, and combined with the Vista firewall control(offered in both x86 and x64 and free) it has great potential.

I have been looking for good antispyware software for a year. Pretty much emty handed at the moment but I do use the old trustworthy Spybot Search and Destroy along with the free version of A-Squared and SuperAntiSpyware.

I'm sure there is alot more out there that I havent had time to find since I do a lot of hardware and network repair and setup. Surpriseing as it always is so many networks still depend mostly on hardware rather then software for security. But your average home user(many computer illiterate) need a helping hand in the right direction when it comes to security.

Keep up the good work. I like it and will post any news or links if I find them.
