http://www.sdesign.com/securitytest/ Complete scan is a much better
test than Shields up. Test takes 30 minutes or more and they email
you a full report. Still, a clean bill of health from them doesn't
mean your system's bulletproof either.
IMO, Shields Up is actually a disservice. Even vulnerable systems
get a rave review, ie, 'full stealth' and 'your computer doesn't even
appear to exist'. One bit of good advice on the Shields Up site :
A FALSE sense of security is worse than being unsure.
