when was the last time you checked your security

Hello and a very good question I check and recheck and scan everyday along with deleting history, cookies etc many times a day, but to check your security everyday is very improtant. Thanks for the question it keeps me on my toes.

Hello and thank you Jacee for joining in I think this thread might help some people who have been a little well lazy about security I think it is the most important thing we can do is check it all the time.

this does not have to be checked often, only if changes are made.

No you only need to be online to update your A/V But running a scan can be done without Internet Connection

Hes reffering to using Steve gibbsons site, the link posted.

The site just checks open ports and whAT not.... Having a router with built in firewall is enough to pass this test.
