Quick, easy PC security audit with Opswat

For those who aren’t tech experts but worry about keeping their computers safe, Security Score is a free, straightforward tool to assess security. It’s easy to use and doesn’t require much technical know-how, although non-experts might need help fixing any issues it identifies.

The software is simple to start with—no installation required. Just download it from Opswat, launch it and let it scan your computer. It then provides a clear, colorful pie chart graphic highlighting seven key security areas, giving you a total score out of 100.

Each of the seven security areas has its own slice of the pie, sized according to its importance.

For instance, the Antivirus section accounts for 30 points, making it the most significant part of the score. Fully protected areas show up in green, while yellow or red segments indicate areas needing attention. By clicking on a slice, you’ll see a short report explaining how to improve your score in that area.

Security Score’s simplicity and thoroughness make it effective, encouraging users to assess and improve their overall system security with minimal hassle.
