I use Avast, always keep it up to date, I used to the free zonalarm, but they don't support 64bit OSes.

I currently run Vista Home Premuim x64.

For a firewall I just use the Windows one.

My real complaint is, with some of the security features built into Vista I actually get BSODs from running legitamate software, mostly bittorrent types, so I won't use those anymore. Never had good download speeds from them anyway, far too dependant on whether others are seeding.

I do think that the BSODs might be caused by my motherboard bios though, or else the fact that I am running a PCIe 2.0 card in a 1.0 slot. It definetly contributes to some of the errors I have been getting.

As far as virus's go, I don't really have any problems, I rarely get them, and I only get them when I do something really stupid that I know better than to do, but did it anyway.

My choice of using Avast is based on the fact that:
1) it's free
2) it runs on 64bit OSes
3) it caught a lot of viruses that none of the other Antiviruses I used to run never did, based on the fact that I would hit the same sites with Avast installed and the scanner would catch basicly what the other anti's didn't even know was there. Helped me avoid a lot of websites that I thought were safe, based on the fact that their scanners didn't report anything bad.

I know that Comodo firewall supports 64bit but it is far to restrictive for me as all I do is surf, play games, and email with my computer.

My system is just a glorified gaming machine, only reason I even have internet is for patching them and playing MMO's.
