Windows Security Scanners

[Sherman H.]

Just want to hear the comments on the Shavlik and Pentasafe. Are the
Shavlik products exactly the same with the Microsoft Baseline Security
Analyzer? How about Pentasafe? What is it good at? If I want to have
vulnerability scan on a Windows environment, which one will provide me the
detailed information and resolutions. Any comments on these three software
are appreciated.

that should help, but if I was you I would give them both a try.

There is a free Windows version of the Nessus scanner at
www.tenablesecurity.com and also www.gfi.com has a free version of the
Languard network scanner, i believe. www.google.com should give other
tools.
