Protecting your PC needn't cost a bundle

The Internet is a dangerous place. Spyware, viruses and other malware (rogue software code) can corrupt your files, steal your personal data and even turn your PC into a spam-spewing zombie. Although Microsoft and other software vendors have redoubled their efforts to bolster computer security, it's still up to you to stay safe online.

Whether you're running Windows XP or Vista, three security tools are essential: a firewall, anti-spyware software and anti-virus software. That doesn't mean you have to spend a bundle. In fact, there are free choices for all three lines of defense.
