Today's Picks: August 1st, 2007 AOL Active Security Monitor I don't count myself a fan of AOL, and so initially was leery about downloading and using this free tool. But what I found surprised me: It's a simple, straightforward piece of software that looks at the security of your PC, reports on what it finds, and makes recommendations. It looks to see if you have anti-virus software and sees if the definitions are up to date; does the same for anti-spyware; looks to see if you have a firewall enabled; and checks to see if you have peer-to-peer software that could pose a danger; among other tasks. It doesn't actually include any protection, but instead warns you that you need some. -- Preston Gralla Version: 2.0.0.18
