I tried f-secure healthcheck today to see if my computer was up to snuff. To quote from f-secure:

• checks whether you have an Anti-Virus, Firewall and Anti-Spyware software installed on your computer
• checks whether you have known vulnerabilities in your applications
• checks whether you have applications that are no longer supported by the vendor
• helps you fix the vulnerabilities found.

In my case (Vista), a few programs were found that were out-of-date, which were easily fixed. As we feel at mysecurepc.com you can never be too careful.

And best of all: f-secure scan is free. Let us know your findings.

Microsoft has released a security guide aimed at companies who need to control security on their laptops and computers. Vista, which will release to companies in November and the general public in January, has two configurations for companies: standard security for clients or a limited security set. Security settings can be deployed in minutes rather than hours.

Check out Microsoft’s security manager Michael Howard’s blog.
