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.
When should you apply for Social Security? Retirement planning is complicated, beginning with the decision about when to begin taking your Social Security benefits. On one hand, if you need the money and donât expect to live into your 80s, it is tempting to take Social Security as early as possible â at age 62 â to benefit from the income stream. On the other hand, you can increase your monthly payment considerably by waiting until age 70.
