Belarc advisers on my IE and it found a few things wrong with my security and wants to patch it or fix it and i am scared as i know nothing of computers and if it shuts me out or makes it too complicated i am then screwed over.I just got spybot yesterday and it found spyware on here also and hours later it worked like a charm'now i did a scan on this balarc and it too says i have bad areas.Do i dare do both with my anti virus included.What would you do? Thanks in advanceI need some computer advice please.I just found this?
I recommend that you download Google Chrome for your browser... it will import your bookmarks from IE. It is built on new architecture so it has more security than IE and is safer. I already have been saved from several ';drive bys'; with warnings from GC. It is easy to get. just google Chrome and you will be given a link for the download. Chrome is a better system all around.

You chose the wrong answer for best answer.

Report Abuse

You should always keep your computers software totally patched and updated. Viruses and spyware get installed on-there-own by exploiting vulnerabilities(security holes) in Windows and other installed software. This is what Belarc is suggesting that you fix. Apply security patches and/or upgrade to newest software versions.





While Belarc is OK , I prefer Secunia PSI (Personal Software Inspector)...it specialises in helping the user keep all their software patched and updated.

Its free.





A fully patched computer is the best way to prevent ';drive-by'; downloads of malware...those that infect by simply visiting a compromised website.
