AVG 7.5 by Grisoft is a nice/good application. I'm using it for ~1 year now and am happy with it. It's not a system resource hawk and easy to setup/use. For the 32-bit there's a free version available..., the 64-bit users among is need to pay (~ $30.00 for 2 yrs) or wait for the release of a free version...

NOD32 v2.7 is a good one.

Dan,

I am using Avast Free and have used AVG Free. AVG may require you manually
start it after each boot.
(This situation is being addressed by AVG)

If you look through this NG, you are going to find that Symantec/Norton is
about as popular as a pimple on prom night with many of the posters.

Re: Anti virus compatible with Vista Ultimate 64 bit

I have been running Norton internet security 2007 with no issues on 64 bit
vista. The antivirus piece should work ok. However make sure you downloaded
the vista version. It only became available to the public Jan 30, 2007. They
have done a good job with their new 2007 suite which surprised me since
their previous suites left alot to be desired.

RE: Anti virus compatible with Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Dan i had to go to nortons site and download their removal tool, because you
cant remove all of norton from controlpanel. download the software,remove all
norton stuff and them reinstall. if you are so inclined say a prayer to BILL.
