Vista ships with Defender (malware) and a firewall.

Windows Live OneCare is not yet 64 bit compatible.

I've settled for Windows Firewall and Defender. Besides, I'm careful
and I've got a hardware firewall already.

As far as 64-bit antivirus goes, there are several options. I've
tried them all and found I prefer Avast the best. And it's free as
well.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
