    There is no such thing as an objective online benchmark scan to test if you're fully protected.
    You can test whether your ports are blocked/stealthed, there are several programs to test if f.i. key loggers are detected by your choice of AV/AS/AM program but not a simple full swing online test.
    You can check with Secunia online scan how many programs need patching (and might have an exploit) or do the F-Secure Health check to check for needed updates.
    Cheers.
