Last Sunday I was at my friends’ home. During our discussion we talked about PC security subject. Question was – how do you I know, how secure is my PC from hackers or intruders?
If you are a sys admin or if you visit site such as Slashdot / digg everyday you know how to secure home pc. What about average user?
Not to worry. There is free online tool that can check your basic security and vulnerabilities. It generates reports about your PC.
