Overlapping Protection

I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed.
I have read that 64 bit is more secure than
32 bit, but that Microsoft still recommends
the use of antivirus software.

I noticed that some antivirus vendors offer
either an antivirus package, or an internet
security package with more features.

With all the improvements in Vista, I wonder
if I need to get more than just an Antivirus package ?
Are Vista's security tools any good ?
If I get an internet security package will it just
needlessly overlap (or disable) the tools that
Vista has already provided ?
Please help me to understand what product I need
to get.

Thanks
Mike
 
I've used the built-in Windows stuff for years with no problems at all. I
only use antivirus from other vendors. No third-party firewalls or anything
like that. Of course every vendor will tell you that their firewall is
"better". But that's just marketing hype and bs. All you really need on a PC
is to drop rogue packets, and all the firewalls do that.
