Pretty good quiz but it should be noted that this is directed towards people who use windows as their OS. Also, it does not take into account that the person taking the quiz might be the 'go-to' person when something goes wrong. According to the test I am in bad shape and need to be more vigilant. What it doesn't take into account is the fact that I use Linux, hide behind a router, have backups on 3 different computers, one of which has copies on two different drives, not to mention the cd/dvd backups. Written instructions, nope, I come here for help if I can't solve it myself.

The quiz does point out some areas that people should be aware of such as a good Updated anti-virus program with stress on the Updated portion. So many put one on and let it go. Backups are a must and yet so many don't bother doing them.
