Aren't alot of the new features in IE based off of the high popularity of Firefox? Opera invented tabbed browsing (I think) but Firefox made them add it. Same thing with Gmail and Hotmail suddenly having all that space to store stuff (it used to be 2 megs tops).

It is broke cause they didn't keep it up to speed.

IE6:

High Risk Vulnerabilities 0
Medium Risk Vulnerabilities 0
Low Risk Vulnerabilities 0

Firefox 2.0.0.4:

High Risk Vulnerabilities 0
Medium Risk Vulnerabilities 1
Low Risk Vulnerabilities 0

Go figure.

I wonder if a plugin could cause that? The only plugins I have are:

Download Manager Tweak
DownThemAll!
IE View
PDF Download
Restart Firefox
Smiley Xtra
UnPlug

Odd....ran the test 4 times and got a medium risk error the first time, but not the other 3 times.

Firefox 2.0.0.4

Syxx_Killer: run the test again and see if your problem goes like mine.

I don't know, I tested this on my work machine which is unfirewalled, has IE6 and Norton - neither of which have been updated for about six months. All tests green. I just ran it on my home machine, Opera 9.21, D-Link hardware firewall, and KIS - same results! Is this thing really accurate?

Basically, if you did not download anyting or permitted anything to be installed during the test, you are trully green...

More a question of "how secure is your user?" then :p

I'm using Safari Public Beta 3 and lovin' it. So much faster on my relatively slow laptop than IE7 or Mozilla. Would reccomend it to anyone. Plus now I don't have to use my imitation theme for Mozilla as it was just copying this.

Hmm... Now it is showing 0 for all three results now.
