There are lots of malicious programs designed to take over control of your computer, extract private information from you or trick you into paying for unwanted services or software. To fight against this it is important to make sure you have the latest versions of common software like the Adobe Reader or Flash player. Keep your Windows-based computer up to date by setting Windows Update to run automatically and as a last line of defense it helps to have a good antivirus program.

We have found that the Microsoft Security Essentials program works best among the free antivirus software we've tested. You can download it for free from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
