Active Security Monitor is a software program that helps you determine how vulnerable your PC is to computer viruses, spyware and other dangers and learn what steps you can take to improve your protection. And if you have more than one PC in your home network, you can use Active Security Monitor to check the security status of your entire home network.

Your PC's level of protection is represented by a Safety Score, shown on Active Security Monitor's dashboard. Active Security Monitor calculates the Safety Score by evaluating what software is installed on your computers to protect you and your home network against intrusion, viruses, worms, and other forms of internet attacks; also evaluated are some of the security-related configuration settings on all your computers. The higher the Safety Score, the more protected your system.
