Microsoft Security Essentials
Microsoft has released a anti-virus utility named Microsoft Security Essentials. It has the ability to detect viruses, malwares, spyware, and other malicious software and provides real-time protection for your computer.
You can download the utility from http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ and the installation file is around 8 MB in size. You have to perform an installation before you start using the product.

The wizard automatically validates your system. It checks whether you have a genuine copy of Windows and the installation will be continued only if you have a legal version. After the successful installation you will be prompted to restart the system as shown in Figure 3. Please make sure to perform an update and scan the system for any threats.
NOTE: Please be aware that Microsoft Security Essentials will automatically activate Automatic Updates and hence your system will respond slow after restarting. I noticed this problem while testing it on my machine.

Protect against Phishing
Phishing means accidental visit to a website which resembles like the original site. This is infact a big threat to those who are connected to Internet as users are simply duped by stealing their credentials. The process will kick start with the hackers sending fraudulent emails (which may look similar with all details including the signatory part) to several IDs by guess work. Nearly, 95% of these emails will be addressed in the name of several prominent banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and others. It will request users to visit a provided web address and login by entering their username and password. These data will be stored as plain text in the hackers web server.
Initially, customers were not warned by bankers against these threats and as a result many of them lost their money through this route. But nowadays, banks have posted warning notices on their websites and new customers are aware against Phishing. Moreover, several print and television medias also played an important role in exposing this threat.
In order to protect yourselves against phishing, you have to follow the following steps
(1) Never click on a link which requests you to enter username and password to login.
(2) Visit banking related websites directly from your browser namely Internet Explorer or FireFox.
Note: Internet Explorer 8 has a feature to protect you against Phishing.
