| With things on their product line like "Repair My MS Backup (BKF)" going for 150 dollars, I'm going to go with a gut answer of no.
The MSBSA is the only consumer-level "security analyzer" other than port scanners or leak testers anyone should ever need.

Thanks for those analyzer web sites... Though I guess we can't compare it with MSBSA because this tool intends to disable some microsoft services among other things. Also guess this computer security tool costs around 29 dollars... |

Does it do anything else we can link you to? 
edit: after seeing the product page, I realize it does do quite a bit more than I assumed it did.
But all of these things are basically registry tweaks and things you can do with the basic Windows GUI or a free application.

I use the Computer Security Tool from www.comutersecuritytool.com and thinks it is good value. Yes, your could probably spend a good day collecting free programs and tweaks that may (or may not) do the same 60 security checks that this program does, and then run 4 or 5 different programs at once to acheive the same results. With the Computer Security Tool you can do comprehinsive custom changes in less than 10 minutes. You can aslo save a load a custom profile, say if you move you laptop between office and home. If you are serious about computer security then $27 is not a big investment. If you ask me, they dont charge enough for it. |
