Improving the Safety Score for Your PC

To improve your Safety Score, follow the recommendations listed in the Details drawers for each security category. Active Security Monitor allows you to see the effect of any given change before you make it.

  1. Click the Details button next to the security category in the Active Security Monitor dashboard. (For example, to view more information about your system's Firewall protection, click the Details button next to the Firewall category.)

  2. The Details drawer opens. Click the Score Improvement button at the top of the drawer.

  3. See the recommendation(s) displayed in the lower part of this page.

  4. Click the See Improvement button to see the effect that implementing the recommendation will have on your Safety Score. The Score Simulation dial will change to reflect your new Safety Score.

Please note that clicking the See Improvement button does not actually implement the recommended change — it only simulates the effect of the change on your Safety Score. You must implement the recommendation manually to protect your computer and to improve your Safety Score.
