SecurityFocus has a nice checkbox system to let you score your own PC security level. Each checkbox item has a link to get more information. Using this sytem, you can check the boxes you know are ‘ok’ and follow-up by reading more information about the items which you are unsure.
Example section:
Personal Firewalls
I have a personal firewall installed and running.
(What’s a personal firewall?)Anti-Virus
My anti-virus software updates itself every _____ days.
Great quiz, take it with your kids and see how many both of you can get cooperating (I’ve noticed it’s sometimes the kids who know quite a bit about security). Besides, learning about security together will help the family stay secure.
Perhaps, you have something interesting to say?
