Every computer with an active Internet connection is subject to various threats that attempt to steal personal data or damage your system.

In order for the main process to properly function you need to add several target computers to manipulate from a distance.This can either be done by directly pointing out one machine at a time, choose from a list in the form of a text file, across an IP range or from your local domain or workgroup. Needless to say that the proper credentials need to be provided for proper access to workgroup computers.

Gather details and issue reports

All target machines are enlisted along with details regarding name, IP, as well as status update. Additionally, a few more similar details can be reached by bringing up a scan properties window, dedicated to each computer. Moreover, reports can be issued to get an overall view of effectiveness.
