protect your computer and your family online

Did you know that every time you go online you're exposing yourself to 80,000 viruses and over 250,000 threats? Or that over 300 new viruses are discovered each month? Or that a hacker can use any of 2,500 ways to help themselves to personal details on your PC in the time it takes you to run a bath?
The risks of viruses and hackers are very real and the problems they cause can be a real nuisance, but many people still surf the Internet without adequate protection - and some without any at all.
If you're infected with a worm, Trojan or virus you might find yourself unable to start up your computer, or discover some private files have been corrupted or destroyed. You could then pass these problems onto friends and colleagues without even realising.
Luckily, there is a way to avoid these problems. We’ve teamed up with McAfee®, a trusted name in online security, to offer an exclusive 30-day free trial on VirusScan and Personal Firewall Plus, as well as special deals on annual subscriptions that could save you up to 40% off the usual selling price.
Why download VirusScan?
Hundreds of new viruses are discovered every month, so even if you have an existing anti-virus program it may be out of date. VirusScan automatically checks for virus updates and software updates so that your protection is always up-to-the-minute.
Among its many features is the ability to automatically scan incoming and outgoing emails and attachments as well as communications sent through instant messaging systems. It will then attempt to clean infected files when detected, saving you time.
VirusScan also detects unwanted applications like spyware, adware and diallers.
You can download VirusScan free for 30 days or get an annual subscription for an exclusive Orange price of £19.99 - a saving of 40%.
Why download Personal Firewall Plus?
The ideal complement to anti-virus protection is McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, which places a protective barrier between hackers and the personal information they seek on your PC - rather like putting a virtual lock on your home computer.
It not only blocks online thieves, but lets you trace the source of hacker attacks and alert the proper authorities.
If you’re a broadband user it’s a good idea to have Firewall protection as your Internet connection is always-on.
All Orange Broadband users are entitled to a free 30-day trial of McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, as well as an annual subscription for an exclusive price of just £19.99 - that’s a saving of over 30%.
