Windows Defender is built into Windows 8. It helps protect and clean your PC from malware such as viruses, trojans, and worms. It also helps protect against potentially unwanted software, such as adware. If your computer is running Windows 7 or earlier, you can download and use Microsoft Security Essentials. You canât use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender at the same time, but you donât need to - they both protect your PC from malware and other threats in exactly the same way.
The age at which you can start receiving full Social Security retirement benefits is a moving target and depends on your birth year (see table below). You can elect to take benefits as early as age 62 (earlier only if you are a survivor or on disability), or wait as late as 70.
The earlier you start drawing Social Security, the smaller your monthly payment will be. If you start at 62, you will receive 25 percent less per month than you would at your full retirement age of 66 (if you were born between 1943 and 1954). For those born later, the reduction grows gradually to 30 percent. The retirement age is 67 for people born in 1960 or later. For those born between 1955 and 1959, a few months are added each year to bridge the gap from 66 to 67. If you can wait until youâre 70 to claim Social Security, your monthly payment will be 32 percent more. Waiting until after 70 does not increase your monthly benefit.
