Avast. I use it for Vista 64 without issue. I believe it covers 7 as well.

Get the free home version. You will send in your email address and they send you a registration number good for a year. You can re-up in a years time. It is a good free AV.

or Avira.

Antivir is pretty good. Don't have to shut it off before loading up any sims or games, and the support is great too. Although the cost of paying for it isn't bad, as I originally paid about 60 USD for a 3 year service, and a week later they sent an email and applied a bunch of coupons and rebates and knocked it down to around an actual price of 14 USD per year for a 3 year service. So I really can't complain about the cost of it, and it works well with my other software, and hasn't caused any interference with games or anything else.

Just my .02 cents
