2.5 of 10 secure

Post by Dave Davison »

I know on first sight the following screen shot of a Belarc Advisor report suggests a poor level of security but how vulnerable is my computer and what measures should I take to improve things? I have up to date firewall and AV installed so what else should I look at? Regards Dave. :help:

Ignore the CIS benchmark score - I have for about five years! I consider it to be of little consequence (check through the 'details', the list of things which do and don't get 'points', and you'll see what I mean.)
