Hi Jason,

Welcome to the forum, Ask ten different people you could get ten different answers,
I use Kaspersky Internet Security and am happy with it.

It is totally up to you if you install Just an AV or a 2 in 1. If you are less experienced though, I would tend to suggest a full package something along the lines of ESET.

Here is a list of free x64 compatible software you will most likely find some thing here;

I hope this helps

Ps Most of the big names are also x64 compatible
