Needed any 64 bit apps

I have a brand new HP 9700 running Vista Home Premium 64. i am having alot of issues finding compatable AV,AS<AM, and system tools like reg defrag, reg cleaners. On my old machine i have Sys Mechanic Pro HD Sentinel and others and all seems to only support 32 bit. i have looked at stores and the boxes never specify so i went ahead and purchased Sys Mech Pro 8 and it was not 64 compat. Now its non returnable. So anyone with any names of good softs, games included, apps, tools. that are 64 compatable. i would appreciate it. Dunno if its me but i have tried 3 AV none would work on htis OS

The only tool you need is an AV, things such as reg cleaners/ sys
maintenance utilities will only cause you grief

Re: Needed any 64 bit apps

You are right they can be but i find i run bettter with a clean registry. however i have used reg cleaners and defraggers that ran in the background. I ended up with broken shortcuts and things not running. But i hear so much aboout having a red error can cause issues but is this just "Hype" to sell softs or is it true. It's like i can clean my machine then run some freebie scanner and it will find 40 errors right after cleaning. Its like some softs "create" errors to sell softs
