As part of a push to regain the public trust, Microsoft plans to release a wizard-like program to help home software users and network administrators protect their computer systems from outside attack. Called the Baseline Security Advisor, the program will scan Windows computers for unpatched programs, weak passwords, and vulnerabilities in the operating system and in several Microsoft products. "Our goal is to allow (home) users to check their own machines," said Jason Shaw, lead product manager for Microsoft. "Company administrators can also use it to check their entire network." | ||

| If I recall the program you speak of was released in September or October and was only available for Windows2000. I see that it now works with WindowsXP. If MBSA expands the functionality, extends to other operating systems, and allows you to download it rather than running it off of the website, what do you have to complain about. |
