Very interesting. The site could not detect my IP right (detected different IP's each time or no IP at all) and then it said I had a security problem and a trojin horse. And amazingly their solution was to buy their software. BTW, I am behind a hardware firewall and I do not have a trojin. I checked.

 

The scan it did was wrong on every account. Well it said I had ports open, of course I do, I have a web server,ftp,and a mail server. It failed to tell me what ports I have open, now that's helpful. I'm sure it's the ports I opened.

 

It even said I did not have a virus scanner on my system. I have tred (the best in my opinion) across my network.

 

If you want a real test of your system try www.portdetective.com/

 

Their is also another site that is even better but I can't remember the url right now. Does any one else know of some other's?

https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 is the URL of Gibson Research. Don't know how reliable the info is but the site is quite informative.
