Security Checks

Call me paranoid but I'd like to think my computer is safe from prying eyes. To have a little peace of mind, I used several free tests online to check my computer. Try these free online tools too : Sygate's Security Check, Trend Micro's Hackercheck, Symantec's Security Scan, Shields Up!, Audit My PC, and PC Flank. My personal favorites are Sygate, Shields Up and PC Flank. These three are quite thorough and have articles that inform you about why their tests are important. Going to the sites and reading the accompanying FAQ's has made me more aware about what the baddies can do to ruin my privacy. Try them and make sure your computer is safe from security threats.
