anti virus programs

Finally got my i7 with Vista 64 bit.
The free security suite my ISP provides is not 64bit supported.
Now looking for the best anti virus program to install
Any suggestions and/or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank You

Re: anti virus programs

My current AV recommendation is F-Prot.

I have found it reliable (at least as good as more expensive software, and sometimes better). It is cheap but there is no free version.

They are trying to catch up. There are some new Mac viruses coming out, as well as antivirus software ... Anything connected to the internet is a candidate.

Re: anti virus programs

I recommend you get avast! . It's free, it uses only small amount of resources and it works great.
