Important
To be automatically notified about system or application vulnerabilities, keep the
Automatic Vulnerability Scan enabled.
6. Choose the system vulnerabilities you want to be regularly checked by using the
corresponding switches.
Critical Windows updates
Check if your Windows operating system has the latest critical security
updates from Microsoft.
Regular Windows updates
Check if your Windows operating system has the latest regular security
updates from Microsoft.
Application updates
Check if crucial web-related applications installed on your system are
up-to-date. Outdated applications can be exploited by malicious software,
making your PC vulnerable to outside attacks.
Weak passwords
Check whether the passwords of the Windows accounts configured on the
system are easy to guess or not. Setting passwords that are hard to guess
(strong passwords) makes it very difficult for hackers to break into your
system. A strong password includes uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers and special characters (such as #, $ or @).
Media autorun
Check the status of the Windows Autorun feature. This feature enables
applications to be automatically started from CDs, DVDs, USB drives or other
external devices.
Some types of malware use Autorun to spread automatically from removable
media to the PC. This is why it is recommended to disable this Windows
feature.
Note
If you turn off monitoring of a specific vulnerability, related issues will no longer
be recorded in the Events window.
