64-bit virus scanner, 64-bit reg. cleaner?

Hey all...I am used to using WinASO for cleaning my registry. Their latest version (3.2) is still not 64-bit capable. My guess is that I should use a 64-bit registry cleaner?? What do you guys use and recommend?

Same for virus scanning. I have a license for AVG Professional. No 64-bit one available, so I'm running a trial version of eset nod32, which has a 64-bit version, and works very well. Again, which one do you guys use/recommend? Should I buy a license for nod32, or can I use my paid-for AVG 32-bit one?

Finally, is it important to have an x64 virus scanner, as well as an x64 reg. cleaner, or would I be able to use 32-bit versions of each???

Thanks!

I use Avast for virus and CCLeaner for registry stuff. Never had a problem, and they are both free.

I use Antivir and CCleaner myself, both 32-bit programs. As long as it's Vista compatible it'll work fine.
