Intel picks a fight with Cyber Crime
Seventy-five percent of home PCs are not effectively protected against online threats.¹ Yours could be one of them. Today, long-standing threats like viruses and spam have been joined by identity theft, online predators, worms, spyware and phishing as cyber crimes against you and the global Internet population.
 
Take a Bite Out of Cyber CrimeIntel is committed to keeping the Internet a fun and safe place to work and play. We have joined forces with the McGruff "Take a Bite Out of CyberCrime" campaign to challenge every school, home and business to take part in putting an end to cyber crime. Learn how to protect your kids, your privacy, your identity, and your wireless network through always-on and always-updated digital protection.

Safety first
 
The Internet brings a sweeping world of information, entertainment and personal connections right into your home. It lets you work, play, communicate, learn, and share in amazing new ways. And without the proper protection, you and your family are at risk. Take a look at the threats you face every time you turn on your PC:
  • Blended threats that use multiple forms of attacks at once
  • Growing emphasis on stealing financial data
  • Child predators and other criminals using online environments for attacks
  • Threats to wireless home networks
  • "Zero-day" attacks-the time is shrinking between initial discovery of an attack and wide spread infection
  • Attack characteristics that are less obvious but are increasingly dangerous and harmful
