I used kaspersky 7 and he found these vermins trying to install themselves [part of the test, this is normal...]:

Browser: IE7

And that is with general settings at medium. Usually I run it at high security setting.

This is another classical test: ShieldsUp!

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?

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.
