64 Bit Vista Software New Build

[dcfan]

So I just built a new gaming rig. I was wondering what is everyone's list of best free software ( AV, Spyware, Defrag, Clean up, etc.) that runs well on vista x64. Thanks for the help.

Vista 64 compatible. I use the free Iobit advanced windows care on four Vista 64 machines for a year without issue. AVG works fine on Vista 64.

What about tune-up utilities? I have a license for the latest version. Is it better than IO-Bit???

A bit dated sticky. Vista 64 was not released for almost two years when this was sticky was posted. The list should be re done to include Vista 64 programs.

Iobit has a free version of advanced windows care (the download link provided) that has defrag, registry cleaner, and a lot of other system performance tools. Iobit is like PC Mechanic which is not free. Not sure what you have a license for that is better than Iobit.

What would you reccomend as the best CD/DVD burning utility?

Do you run a soft firewall or is my router & windows firewall enough?

Well, windows firewall is likely enough. I use Windows Onecare on my three most important Vista 64 systems. Onecare is M$'s antivirus/spyware product. It has a built in firewall also.

Free trial offered here. None of my machines has ever had a spyware/virus issue.
