Dashboard

The Dashboard is the home screen for Soterios. It summarizes your system security posture and provides shortcuts to common actions.

Security health score

The health score (0–100) reflects several local factors:

Factor Weight
Malware scan results 30
Scan recency 10
Disk space 15
Memory pressure 10
CPU load 10
System uptime 5
Real-time protection 15
Firewall status 15

Click the score card to open a breakdown of each category.

Status cards

  • Real-Time Protection — Toggle Windows Defender real-time monitoring. Soterios verifies the change took effect (Tamper Protection can block changes).
  • Windows Firewall — Shows whether the firewall is active with a link to the Firewall page.
  • Last Scan — Date and result of your most recent scan, with Quick Scan and Full Scan shortcuts.
  • ClamAV Definitions — Age of virus definitions and an Update button.
  • Threats Blocked — Count of files currently in quarantine.
  • Warnings / Ignored Warnings — Security recommendations from the overview engine. You can ignore or restore individual warnings.

Recommended workflow

  1. Check the health score and address any warnings.
  2. Ensure ClamAV definitions are current.
  3. Confirm real-time protection and firewall status.
  4. Run a scan if none has been completed recently.
