Having reviewed my website pages on Shields-Up and revisited the GRC website it prompted me to make this post.
I try and keep my content relevant and up-to-date, it would seem that most of what you will find on Steve's site (Jan 2011 - dated 2010) relates to the XP/NT world and not really relevant to the Windows 7/Linux/OSX world of today.
If you are still running XP (and I am on some of my computers) you are probably well aware of the shortcomings of the earlier versions of Windows and have learnt how to live with them.
I would say it is time for him to freshen up his site and bring it into the new millennium. The content is paranoia personified - I know that I have port 80 open - I run a website from my basement! I don't need his outdated programs to tell me that I "fail" the security tests on his site
What is it that he is trying to sell?
I have an issue with Securable's ability to inform you that your computer can run Windows 7 XP-Mode.
I also have issues of my own with the implementation of DEP - but I do not subscribe to the perpetuation of FUD.
why does shields up show "port 80" as open
ReplyDeleteMaybe because it is???!
