F-Secure Health Check Offers PC Examination For Safe Internet Use

It’s always a good idea to check the security of your computer to ensure a safe online experience. F-Secure Health Check is a free online tool that helps to pinpoint security problems and gives clear advice on how to fix them. With Health Check, it only takes a moment to get peace of mind for surfing the Internet.

Venu Palakirti, regional director for India & SAARC for F-Secure Asia Pacific, said, “F-Secure Health Check checks the status of security solutions running on the computer. More than one million people have already used the free tool and our data shows that a third of its users either haven’t installed an anti-virus, firewall or anti-spyware, or they are outdated or turned off. Out-of-date or non-existent security software leave users wide open to malicious software and exploits.”

In addition to making sure that your firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware are working properly and are up-to-date, F-Secure Health Check also checks whether the Windows operating system, third party software and Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer Web browsers are up-to-date.
