Analyze Your System Security
Problem: I'm not certain how secure my system is, but the last thing I want to do is pay some high-priced consultant to test it for me.
Find out where your security is lax with the free Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
Fast Fix: Download the free Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) and let the program perform a security check of your computer. The tool's reports include links to descriptions of the scan, details of the results, and ways to correct any problems it finds. MBSA works with any version of Windows from 2000 SP3 on, though Vista requires the 2.1 beta; MBSA also analyzes the security of Office, Exchange, and other Microsoft products. Download either the current version 2.0.1 or the beta 2.1 release. After installing the program, launch it and follow the prompts to analyze your own system or multiple computers.
