The Computer Security Tool V4
Changing Individual Security Settings
The best way to modify individual security settings is to run the program in Advanced Mode. Scan the computer, select the security issue to be changed and perform the appropriate action, eg. "secure" or "insecure". Apply the change then re-scan the computer to ensure that the change has been made.
The "RollBack / Undo" Tab
It is possible using The Computer Security Tool to Rollback or Undo any changes made. Rollback / Undo settings are accessed by clicking on the "Rollback / Undo" tab in the main program window, as shown below:
There are three options;
1. To undo the most recent security changes;
2. To Rollback the security settings to a specific date and time when a backup file was created;
3. To Rollback the security settings to the way the computer was configured prior to The Computer Security Tool being run.
Restoring a Network or Internet Connection
The Computer Security Tool is designed to prevent network or Internet attack. If settings are secured incorrectly it is likely that Internet or Network access will be disabled. If you have run the Computer Security Tool and you now cannot connect to the Internet or your Network, please try the following:
Run the Computer Security Tool in Basic Mode, answer the Step 2 question correctly (about your Internet and Network access) and apply the changes;
Reboot your computer and test your Internet and Network connection.
Basic Mode is designed to Secure and Unsecure Internet and Network connection settings based on your answers to these questions.
If you still cannot access the Internet or your Network;
Switch the Computer Security Tool to advanced mode. In the "Advanced Options" menu, click "Always Ignore List". Remove any Issues in your Always Ignore List so that all Issues are now included in the scan (to learn more about the Always Ignore Issues List, click here).
In Advanced Mode run a scan by clicking the "Scan Now" button;
At the completion of the scan, select "Show All" under the "Advanced Options" menu on the left hand side of the main program screen (this will ensure that both Secure and Not Secure Issues are displayed in the results screen).
Search for the following issues and make them Insecure (click here for information on changing settings in Advanced Mode):
"Service: Computer Browser" - make this Issue Insecure;
"Communications: Disable TCP/IP Port 445" - make this Issue Insecure;
"Service: Workstation - Disable": - make this Issue Insecure;
"Accounts: Guest Account - Disable": - make this Issue Insecure
Apply the security changes and re-boot your computer.

4. To Rollback the security settings to the way the computer was configured prior to The Computer Security Tool being run.

Note: Some Security Issues, such as the removal of MSN Messenger, can only be returned to the original status by re-installing the original program.
