Collection
and Use of Your Information

The
information we collect from you will be used by Microsoft and its
controlled subsidiaries and affiliates to enable the features you are using and
provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or
authorized.  It may also be used to analyze and
improve Microsoft products and services.

In order to offer you a more consistent and
personalized experience in your interactions with Microsoft, information
collected through one Microsoft service may be combined
with information obtained through other Microsoft services. We may also
supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other
companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us
to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to
customize certain services to your geographic area.

Except as described in this statement, personal
information you provide will not be transferred to
third parties without your consent. We occasionally hire other companies to
provide limited services on our behalf, such as performing statistical analysis
of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information
they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited
from using that information for any other purpose.

Microsoft
may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your
communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful
requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or
our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies
governing your use of the services; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such
access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft
employees, customers, or the public. We may also disclose
personal information as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or
sale of assets.

Information that is
collected by or sent to Microsoft by HAV Detection Tool may be stored and
processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its
affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. Microsoft
abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of
Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European
Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland.

Collection
and Use of Information about Your Computer

When you use software with
Internet-enabled features, information about your computer ("standard
computer information") is sent to the Web sites
you visit and online services you use. Microsoft uses standard computer
information to provide you Internet-enabled services, to help improve our
products and services, and for statistical analysis. Standard computer
information typically includes information such as your IP address, operating
system version, browser version, and regional and language settings. In some cases,
standard computer information may also include hardware ID, which indicates the
device manufacturer, device name, and version. If a particular feature or
service sends information to Microsoft, standard computer information will be sent as well.

The privacy details for
each HAV Detection Tool feature, software or service listed in this privacy
statement describe what additional information is collected and how it is used.

Security of your information

Microsoft is committed to
helping protect the security of your information. We use a variety of security
technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized
access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the information you provide
on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled
facilities.

Changes to this privacy statement

We will occasionally update
this privacy statement to reflect changes in our products, services, and
customer feedback. When we post changes, we will revise the "last
updated" date at the top of this statement. If there are material changes
to this statement or in how Microsoft will use your personal information, we
will notify you either by posting a notice of such changes prior to
implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage
you to periodically review this statement to be
informed of how Microsoft is protecting your information.
