Vista - Free Antivirus for Vista RC1?

Anyone know of a free 64 bit antivirus program besides the 'Trend Micro' for
Vista RC1? I've installed it so many times while installing and uninstalling
Vista I probably won't be allowed to download it. AVG Free doesn't support
64 bit. Thanks.

Just tried Trend Micro on RC1 and it brought the system to it's knees
and this is on a X2 3500 with 2GB RAM and it was still hitting 100%
CPU.

How about taking the safety labels off everything, and let the
stupidity-problem solve itself?

This is the one i always use. So far it works great:

Avast 4.7 Home works great on x64 Vista RC1. Although it won't work on x86
RC1. Go figure.

Ive been using Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Securit 14 beta for
Vista and all i can say is that you wont even notice its running,
atm its using like 10 MB of ram, and when it runs its not hogging
the down the system at all

specs
Intel Pentium D 820, 2.80GHz/800MHz/2x1MB L2 cache
1GB, 667MHz, DDR2 SDRAM Memory, ECC
80GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
