I dunno if anyone has been to these sites yet, my sister informed me of it and I thought I'd pass it on... This site has an interesting scanner called "Retina." I haven't tried it yet, but plan on it sometime tomorrow... http://www.eeye.com/html/index.html --Viv :)

Sorry, forgot to post the other site... Anyway, this site has many different freeware programs that seem good. Again, dunno if anyone here has been to these yet. I did this "LeakTest" just a few mins ago. It is so easy, it tests your firewall for leaks. It tries to penetrate and come in as an FTP server and if it cannot enter, it is a success and your firewall does not leak. I was happy to see that ZAPro is always working well. The site does say that ZA is the only one that passed the test with flying colors. http://grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm I hope it's ok that I posted these two sites. If anyone has already been there and done that, I am sorry I wasted your time. --Viv :)

GRC is ok for a site test, it is not fool proof but then again nothing is. As far as "Retina" goes these people what your life story before you can download the trial version of the product. I should not have to give my full name, address and a ton of other personal information in order to download a trial product. Most folks get enough spam and do not need anymore. Here is the break down... Note: All fields are required unless indicated as 'optional'. First Name: Last Name: Email Address: (instructions for downloading will be sent to this address) Job Title: Company: Daytime Phone: Extension: (optional) URL: (optional) State/Province: (US and Canada only) Country: Number of servers you wish to secure: Number of workstations you wish to secure: Are you currently working with an eEye reseller? When does your organization plan to implement this type of solution? How did you hear about eEye Digital Security? No thanks eEye I like keeping my inbox nice and tidy. KTTD

Kevin, Ahhhh, that is why I come here, you folks are wonderful and honest. Thanks a million. I did the LeakTest and that was enough. I will not bother with the Retina. Thanks again... --Viv :)
