I love this thread. It's such a convenient repository for useful links that I'll always be able to find.

First of all, I ran Symantec's security check tonight. I've previously run tests on my personal firewall configuration to ensure its secure, but Symantec now tells me that my browser will divulge to a webserver the URL of the last page visited. Isn't that nice? Of course they go on to say that their NIS product will prevent that.

Here's the link for running the security check:

Secondly, Steve Gibson is providing freeware that detects spyware on your PC.
