Microsoft's Free Antivirus Software - Download link for Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.

Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times. It also runs quietly in the background scheduling scans when the PC is most likely idle and interrupting the user only when there is an action required to keep their PC secure. It employs practices like active memory swapping and CPU throttling to limit the impact on your PC performance, even on older or less powerful PCs.

This isn’t a security suite product that provides rich PC tuning capabilities or backs up your data. But if what you’re looking for is “install and forget” malware protection and solid quality Microsoft Security Essentials may be just what you’ve been waiting for.

Protect Your Identity Online

It is estimated that 90% of all computers are infected with some form of spyware that may track keystrokes, allowing criminals to learn passwords and bank account numbers—essentially giving them access to anything and everything on your computer.

None of us ever really believe identity theft will happen to us but that is precisely what happened to over 10 million people last year alone. To say that we are at risk is an understatement. There are elite groups of cyber criminals forming in the far corners of the globe targeting consumers and businesses online.

Without proper protection, it is not a question of "if" you will become a victim-but "when". Spyware technologies are becoming more advanced and sophisticated each year and are the primary tools for identity thieves. And firewalls and anti-virus software alone aren't enough to stop them.

By the time identity theft has been discovered, 85% of victims have already lost money. But there is a far darker side to identity theft than the pure monetary loss: Credit score damage. If an identity thief remains undetected for too long or gains access to your social security number, credit score damage becomes a very real possibility. It can take years to regain complete control of your identity and the costs to you can run into the thousands. Your credit is literally your financial lifeline—protect it and your identity with Anonymizer's online privacy solutions.
