I came across a handy website recently called http://www.auditmypc.com/. It is a free to use website and will help you determine how exposed your computer is when you are online.
Security wise there is a firewall test and an anonymous surfing check. The firewall test will scan your computer for any open ports that shouldn’t be. The anonymous surfing check will tell you what information your computer is broadcasting when you are browsing online. All handy information you should be aware of.
There is also a handy broadband speed test, free software links, website monitoring tool, a sitemap generator and a very useful anti-spam link.
I ran the firewall, anonymous surfing and broadband tests on my computer. Whilst I didn’t find any surprises, it was good to know my firewall is up to the job and broadband speed is exactly what it should be.
Have a look at http://www.auditmypc.com/. It is a handy site to bookmark as security of your computer should be a priorty. If it isn’t, why are you reading this blog?
