technology designed to track your progress

as you successfully complete the lab. A short$-$

cut is available on the Kali Linux VM Desktop

to check your score. Double$-$click on the

short$-$cut and a web browser window will

open displaying your current score. You can

periodically refresh the page as you complete

more of the lab to see your current score.

First, check and see what service pack is installed

on your system.

Next, view a list of installed programs to gain an

understanding of what is currently running on your

system.

Notice that OpenOffice is installed on your system.

Staying aware of your company security

documentation, you recall that OpenOffice is not

approved for use on organizational systems and will

need to be removed. So take care of that now.

During the uninstall, a User Account Control window

may appear asking you if you want to run a

randomly named msi file. Click Yes.
