Our Online Tools team recently released an updated version of our Health Check utility. In addition to the updated signature database, new features added are:

• Monthly e-mail reminder to run Health Check
• Additional browser support for Chrome 3.0 and Opera 10.10

Recap: F-Secure Health Check is an online check that tells you if your computer is protected. It is designed to help a busy computer user simplify their computer/program security maintenance routine, so it will:

• Check for security updates for the most frequently used programs (OS, browsers, media players, etc.)
• Check that documents, image files, etc. are backed up
• Provide a summary of the computer's 'health' or overall security, and recommendations for improving it

You can try out the Health Check tool here.

Also, website owners can include Health Check as a free web widget.
