Good Program to Download - Check Windows Security

I've been using this free program for several months.  It does a very good
job of analyzing your computer for security and other problems.  It's
secure in that all information generated remains with you, on your machine,
and is not sent to any other outside sites.

This program was recommended to me by a couple of computer and graphics
specialists at Adobe.  You might want to consider downloading it and taking
it for a test drive.

Whoa. Weird coincidence.

I downloaded it a couple of nights ago to help me track down why my
computer has no sound since installing Norton System works & Personal
Firewall.

Didn't really help but it's certainly useful for generating a system profile.

The legendary Steve Gibson has an interesting story of his own
experiences.

He has some security tools on his site too.

Legendary he may be , but it's worth pointing out that there are many 
other internet security experts out there with a very low opinion of him.

I'm not sure he claims to be an expert.  He certainly knows more than
I do and he's done some interesting stuff.
