Okay let's see.
Spybot's TeaTimer prevented it from being added to startup, CPF prevented it from connecting to Internet, so I guess that's a sign that my security produtcs works.
Anyways, here's the score:

Score: 88, Excellent
Firewall: Excellent, no problems.
Virus protection: Excellent, says virus database is out of date, but there's no newer avalaible.
Spyware protection: Excellent, no problems.
Windows & Browser: Good, tells me to enable automatic updates, which isn't going to happen.
Wireless security: N/A, since CPF prevented it from connecting it didn't detect my router.
PC utilities: Good, suggests me go get a back-up program, tho I burn all important stuff on DVD's.
P2P software: Poor, wants me to uninstall it, but I won't.


Here's what I'm using:
Firewall: Comodo Personal Firewall
Virus protection: Avast! Home Edition
Spyware protection: Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware and Spywareblaster
Windows & Browser: Windows XP Service Pack 2, Firefox
Wireless security: Router
PC utilities: Advanced Windows Care Personal, Ace Utilities, CCleaner
P2P software: LimeWire for music, else µTorrent

CCleaner
Manual backups (this lowered my score - could go to 98)
Process Explorer 10 from Microsoft (Sysinternals)
Sysinternals Anti Rootkit
Ice Sword
MS malicious software removal tool
Windows Defender (realtime protection)
Peer Guardian (removed this because no P2P software installed)
True Crypt on hidden partition (can't go into details!)

Also testing Microsoft Windows SteadyState (trademarked)

As of 1 Feb 2008 switched to the following:
Comodo Firewall (So far very impressed!) thank You Comodo !!
Switched to Spyware terminator
Testing Comodo Antivirus ( I feel brave - don't usually install Beta software)

Generally avoid gaming/P2P/warez/gambling etc.

Don't open attachments or click on links via email.

Note: In my opinon the score is only half the battle. Education is more important.

does aol active security monitor works on vista?
only saying that because:
a) doesn't recognize vista firewall
b) tells me that system restore is turned off when it's on
c) won't detect my wireless network

[Ron_75]

for me it gives a score of 92

Firewall *Excellent
Virus Protection *Excellent
Spyware Protection *Excellent
Windows & Browser *Excellent
Windows Security *N/A
PC Utilities *Good
P2P Software *Excellent

I have AVG Free Edition AV and its upto date with the defintions, AOL Security reports it as out of date, so thats one thing it can't detect correctly.

the software for me is a gimmick, but it would be quite useful and informative for many other people and I will be recommending it to some of them


the program is slightly annoying, I don't want it to load with windows Startup isn't there any settings in the program to disable it from starting up with Winxp?

Nevermind, i just used CCleaner to remove the registry Startup key for AOL Active Security Monitor

Yes.

You're on it.  It's called the internet.

[MorphOS REBOL]

Pardon me, but, now, this AOL proggie is really not something to rely on.

I rather guess it's some kind of cheap spyware.

[Ganda]

Yes.
