AuditMyPC.com is a website which offers a host of free services designed to help you to secure your PC. Using readily available diagnostic tools and your Internet connection, the AuditMyPC.com site will tell you exactly what security holes you have open, Windows patches which you are missing, spyware which is installed, ports which are open (and which viruses take advantage of which open port), and a host of other useful information. Tests offered include a firewall test, patch test, open ports test, popup test, spyware detection, and more. And all for free! If you’re not convinced that you need to visit this site and avail yourself of their services, take a look at their “kudos” page, where other users have posted such comments as “Your auditing stuff is really really superb. Although I am a computer professional, all this time I was unaware that someone was accessing my computer”, and “Thank you so much for this site. I never realized how vulnerable my computer was, and the browser tests freaked me out! Thanks for making the world a better place.” Wow. Take a look, and scare yourself. You have nothing to lose, except perhaps your computer’s security vulnerabilities. AuditMyPC.com is available at http://www.AuditMyPC.com.

Are you sure it’s not installing spyware on your machine while purporting to check it out, just like those awful “Your IP address …” popup adverts from the past? Hmmmmmm …
