i couldn't resist.

ran the symantec test with bid and npf disabled. just kept za going. i got the same browser vulnerability rating as you.

next up i kept za running and added back in bid. same thing. browser giving up info.

and as i told you in a prior post, i passed the test with all three. so my results confirm what i suspected.... norton personal firewall (or norton internet security) is the only way to get past their test. gasp. i'm shocked (not).

i did learn that there is a enable browser privacy option that can be checked in npf. i obviously had it selected. <g3>

so what have we learned here today? that symantec has a test that, at least to a small degree, tries to point you in the direction of picking up their product.

is the browser privacy issue a valid one? i'd like to know what you think?

good luck

:)
