S.W.A.T. Pro 1.5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Although this free program probes your PC's defenses, you'll only receive a security score with its trial. S.W.A.T. Pro's neatly designed interface presents a chart of vulnerability risks and defense mechanisms you may need on your system to foil malicious attempts at attacking your PC from vermin such as viruses and worms. S.W.A.T. Pro tests your PC for firewall protection, security updates, weak or absent passwords, and hacker-friendly applications and networks, then returns a score based on its findings. With that, the program's free version is done. If you just want to see what S.W.A.T. Pro thinks of your PC's current security measures, give it a go, but other than that the free version offers nothing.
