Usability notes
The following information is gathered daily from databases collated by IT security experts, hacker communities, software vendors, and the like, from all over the world. It comes to us in various formats, and can often be a translation into English. This sometimes means that, although the details are correct, the grammar and spelling can occasionally be less than perfect.

Security holes and warnings
Security holes are in RED - which obviously means you need to act immediately to resolve the issues. However, to avoid confusion, look for the risk factor on each of the report items listed below. Anything other than 'none' requires your attention, in varying degrees of risk from 'low' to 'critical'.

Help with Scan Results
We understand that some of your scan results may require a little more information or explanation to help less experienced users fix problems if solutions sound complex. If this is the case, we advise that you copy the scan-result text and paste it into a good search engine (we recommend Google). You will find that many people have probably experienced similar problems, and that experts will have provided detailed fixes or resources to help you.

CVSS - Common Vulnerability Scoring System
We have included CVSS data where available, but don't worry if this data means nothing to you. It will mean a great deal to those that need the data. To date, a number of commercial computer security vendors and not-for-profit organizations have developed, promoted, and implemented systems to rank information system vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, there is no cohesion or interoperability among those systems and they are limited in scope as to what they cover. CVSS uses an open and universal vulnerability scoring system to address and solve these shortcomings, with the ultimate goal of promoting a common language to discuss vulnerability severity and impact.

CVSS Base scores are marked from 0 to 10, with 0 being zero risk. Anything above zero requires attention. For more information on how CVSS works, please go to: http://www.first.org/cvss/cvss-guide.html
