Yes. At http://www.annualcreditreport.com you are entitled by law to receive your three credit bureau reports for free. This is the only web sight sanctioned by the federal government.
DO NOT confuse this web sight with freecreditreport.com

It's pretty safe if you have a good firewall on your computer.
Be sure to run your virus protection and spyware a bit more often if you go into sensitive areas.
As an added precaution, I always delete the temp files and close the window after checking sensitive sites.
Nothing is a sure guarantee though. In my opinion, if you run as much protection as you can on your puty, it's pretty much the same risk as with dealing the postal system.

For all of you who have answered this question. A FIREWALL does not stop information from transmitting through the internet, only to your computer. Spyware does not have affect of this either.... IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING CONFIDENTIAL YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW ON A COMPUTER... the url or web address should be showing HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// - https means hyper text transfer protocol secure which is a secure connection between your computer and the server your information is coming from. A firewall is designed to stop bad information from entering your computer, not reading your computer. If i had few information about your computer, I can still get past your firewall :)

I actually just got a Washington Mutual Creditcard and with that card I can get onto their website and view my credit whenever I want. No fees with the card and not fees for online banking. It's great!!!!

There is one web site that is free to US citizens that allows one credit pull per year
http://www.annualcreditreport.com
There rest of the "free" sites are scams.
