Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a free* download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.
Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times.
(Microsoft, 2009)
To me, it is a “better have than not” security product.. I thing that attract me is the browser (only IE) exploitation shield.

Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free.
Prey helps you locate your missing laptop by sending timed reports with a bunch of information of its whereabouts. This includes the general status of the computer, a list of running programs and active connections, fully-detailed network and wifi information, a screenshot of the running desktop and — in case your laptop has an integrated webcam — a picture of the thief.
Prey uses a remote activation system which means the program sits silently in your computer until you actually want it to run. If so, it gathers all the information and sends it to your Prey web control panel or directly to your mailbox. The thief will never know his movements are being watched.

Hi all especially TM staffs 😛
I’ve wrote a Firefox plugin that helps you (TM staffs) to bypass the TM proxy and allow you to browse Facebook and Twitter from TM’s internal network or via TM’s secure VPN.
The plugin now is in BETA version and version 1.1 (release version) will be distributed tonight.
This plugin will be released in controlled copy where ONLY those person that I knew and those in my trusted group of people will get it.
Greetz and thanks to my BETA tester: Azra, Farah and Fathi
