Check My Computer

See exactly where your protection has gaps. Run one safe command, and a free AI assistant reviews your settings and tells you what to fix — in plain English.

  • Nothing to download to get started
  • Takes about 5 minutes
  • 100% private — you use your own AI account
  • Great if you want to understand your risks first

1 Copy this command

Click copy. This safely gathers your Defender settings and puts them on your clipboard automatically.

powershell -Command "Start-Process powershell -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList '-Command','Get-MpPreference | Out-String | Set-Clipboard'"

2 Press [⊞ Windows Logo] + R, paste, press Enter

Hold the [⊞ Windows Logo] key and press R. A small box opens. Paste (Ctrl+V) and press Enter. Windows will ask "Do you want to allow this app to make changes?" — click Yes. This is normal and safe. A window may flash for a second — that's expected.

3 Paste the results here

Click in the box below and paste (Ctrl+V). Your settings were copied automatically in step 2.

4 Get your free AI review

Copies an expert prompt with your results, then opens Claude — a free AI assistant.

5 Follow Claude's simple fix steps

Claude will give you the fix plus an easy, numbered guide. You'll open PowerShell as an administrator once, then paste the fix in — no files to save. If anything feels unclear, book a free call and we'll do it with you.

✅ Recommended Next Step

Add a Secure DNS

Hardening your computer protects the device. A secure DNS protects everything it connects to — quietly blocking scam sites, malware, and trackers before they ever reach you.
