TCH-Thomas Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 In Sweden the government started a "Surf safe" campaign today and one of the things in this campaign was a link to a browser security test. Give it a try and see how safe your browser is. Can someone hack into your computer via your browser? How vulnerable are you? Can websites install spyware through your browser? Such things will be answered. There are two tests. I have only run the long test which took some time. http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deverill Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thanks Thomas... but I wonder if it's a good test. It says 0/0/0 with IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thanks Thomas... but I wonder if it's a good test. It says 0/0/0 with IE I got a little suspicious on that too when I tested I.E. But I´m thinking that if the government and several known security companies that are in this campaign recommends it, it must be good.

Striver Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Mine is so secure they can't even run the test... Sorry, the test won't work without Javascript. Please enable it and come back. Read the FAQ for explanation why we need Javascript for the test. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borfast Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I got a little suspicious on that too when I tested I.E. But I´m thinking that if the government and several known security companies that are in this campaign recommends it, it must be good. Don't count on that, Thomas. Here in Portugal, government people are amongst the most ignorant of all, especially when it comes to computer related stuff... EDIT: It's testing for the "Mozilla Windows shell: protocol handler vulnerability (moz250180)" in a browser they detected was running on Linux (I ran the 'short' test)... are you sure they know what they're doing?
