How healthy is your internet security?

I guess using a secure DNS and a 3rd party FW will help get better score.

Work PC. Apparently no protection against data theft. Good thing we don't hold any customer data.

Great tool for making people paranoid IMO.

 

[frogboy]

All new results.

[Sunshine-boy]

[Deleted member 178]

3rd party FW maybe.

To be totally honest I do not really know. I am certainly no computer guru just an average home user.

 

[Sunshine-boy]

3rd party FW maybe.

win firewall sucks

Tested Windscribe still got a C. Open DNS free passed the adult content test but still C too. Have been using Level 3 cause I thought they would like being malware free being an important company or whatever.

nothing to do with it, i use Windows FW; i guess the test scan the common ports and the 3rd party FW may close them.
So if the test is done this way (and i dont see it doing otherwise without checking my system) , this is pure BS.
Because stopping the trojan to call home doesn't solve the issue , which is "how it was in the system in the first place?!"

Maybe your ISP uses super strict filtering? Maybe it's an AUS thing.

 

[Sunshine-boy]

scan the common ports

omfg, what are those ports?can you tell me? or find? Wanna close them maunully.

Nah - He's a FROG! They have slippery sneaky ways

Thinking it's a load of crap in some areas - one of the tests was where it downloads an exe file from a 'reputable site' - I have VS and VS did absolutely nothing!
