Vista x64 Malware/Anti-Spyware Protection

I'm just curious to see what others are using. Currently I'm using NOD32, Superantispyware, and Spybot. I'm used to running Spyware Doctor so kinda interested to see if someone knows of a program w/ that type of protection.

I'm just using WINDOWS DEFENDER which comes with it.

I started using that when MS first offered it, and it has done a pretty good job. It's the only anti-spyware app that I use, and it's kept me clean so far.

I use it on XP, XP x64, and Vista 64.

Personally, I only run Windows Defender and Symantec Corporate, although I'm careful enough that I could do just as well without them.

Avast! and Windows defender works for me in here.... But I think any 32-bit software will work on 64-bit Vista.

Nod32, COMODO & Windows Defender here. I think WD is a pile of garbage TBH..! I'm careful when it comes to the net and if Nod32 doesn't pick up something before it installs and then COMODO doesn't stop it when it try's to call home well then we will have a serious delima on our hands then.

Not AV programs... however, there aren't any AV programs worth using that haven't been updated to work with Vista 64-bit yet.

I'm using Kaspersky now myself (v8 or 2009) I'm liking it so far. Last I knew from reading in their forums that they are working on a x64 version but they 'couldn't' say too much about it.
