That is a security report my parents have just been given for their PC and afaik it is a load of tosh. Perhaps the only thing to be concerned about is that it says there isn't a two way firewall running, but I'm pretty sure Zone Alarm is there and working.
As for spyware and registry, well they were cleared out just a few weeks ago when I was last there.
System security is probably due to them running as admin.
Internet security is probably because ie is set to run under medium. And regardless they use Firefox.
System clutter has failed for 245Mb of crap. When I have a clear out I normally lose several Gb. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Or am I missing something? <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Anyway I've offered to remote in should they need it. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.
Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.
