This is a challenge for all you PC enthusiasts out there. Download and install the latest version of PC Security Test. Go here: http://www.pc-st.com/us/ Give it a whirl, and see what you get. Here's mine: http://www.mylot.com/w/image/1488078.aspx
I'm running AOL S&SC, along with Arovax Shield and Folder Guard. If anyone else manages to ace the test, or comes close, please share with us the tools you have in your security apparatus. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who could use a stronger defense system, and would love to hear your thoughts. Thanx!

Cool. Was that the installer that was flagged, or did it catch one of the samples while you were running the test? I'd love to know how your machine scored.

Oops! I read your message wrong. I see that you were able to install the software. So how did you do? And what security software did you use in the test?

You got that right. Attacks are getting worse than ever, and in virtually every way. They are becoming more prevalent, new ones are coming out more frequently, and they're capable of hanging on longer.
Fortunately for us, some security vendors have come up with effective counter measures. I've managed to ace this test, and make my machine almost invincible. I imagine hackers will eventually find ways to get around security even as strong as mine, but we'll just have to wait and see. If and when it happens, I'll have to find out what they did and how to prevent it in the future.
How did you score in the test? What security programs do you have? I look forward to your feedback. Salute!
