Windows Security Checklist - ASG

 ASG develops the security setups from using security settings that are tested and approved by many security companies, researchers, and departments from across the world. ASG security setups are different in one way because they are specifically designed to be compatible with todays standards of the computer user.

ASG follows the National Institute of Standards and Technology closely and implements their security techniques into our own security setups.

ASG believes that no computers security checklist is complete without following the ASG security checklist. When added to other security setups, the ASG security checklist increases the security of home based systems by 90% on average. *Not to mention if you have no security at all the ASG security setup does make your computer secure.

* ASG highly recommends adding antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall in addition to the windows firewall. Most firewalls run along side the Windows Firewall with little or no issues.

*ASG does not guarantee your computers security will not be breached, although using the ASG Security Setup does make your security significantly higher than usual. Overall this security setup highly reduces the chance of a successful attack.
