Do you know if your computer is secure? Have you applied all updates? Are you using strong passwords? Are administrator accounts only in use for people who should have that privilege? As you can see, there is a lot to keeping your computer safe.
Fortunately, Microsoft has a free tool that will analyze your computer for security issues with Windows and Office programs. It will make sure each program is properly patched, check for strong passwords, and check to see if users have too many permissions. It will then provide you a comprehensive report listing any problems found.
However, do not just implement every change. Sometimes, you need certain changes for programs to operate correctly. If you are not sure of what you are doing, do not change anything without checking with a computer technician.
