It’s an interesting tool that presents a score to measure how secure your computer is from 6 categories, Firewall, HD Encryption, Patch Management, Backup, File Sharing, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Phishing software. Clicking each of the category score number brings up a recommendation window that informs you why it scores that number and what you can do to improve it.
