Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are methods and systems for improving security via a trusted advisor. The disclosed embodiments recognize that some computer users may benefit from oversight by another individual, who may have more computer expertise and be better equipped to evaluate whether security implicating changes to a computer are appropriate.
