Test Your Browser For Security take the browser security test

test your browser for security holes:
http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/

This checks for the most commonly occurring security vulnerabilities in the major browsers.In total there are some 40 tests and may take a long time to finish. I have run this test on 4 browsers:
1)IE 7 : 0 vulnerabilities (but the browser goes crazy, opening several windows and applications)
2)IE 6 : 1 medium risk (the browser goes crazy like IE7)
3)Firefox 2.0.0.3: 1 medium risk (i think some plugin might have caused this as some others have had different results)
4)Opera 9.2: 0 vulnerabilities

Thanks, I guess. Since I have Mozilla FF, It automaticly checks for those things. It would be nice to have someday, though. Thanks! Hope it works for others!

Thats pretty interesting, i use, what i think is the latest release of FF and i got big fat zeros so it seems im reasonably safe in terms of FF letting someone in. Good to know.

Nice one man. I have tried it on my opera but i won't be sharing my results here

I would say this was a interesting software about 2 years ago, but I wouldn't rely on the results that much because mostly like they have all been patch since then and by the looks of it these tests and from the website they are for IE6 ff1.x and opera 7.x so I don't think Ie7, ff2 and Opera 9.x will check out for it.

Wow, thanks for this link. I ran the tests and it only found one vulnerability in my browser. It is a medium level and has to do with e-mail. As I am running Windows 98 I cannot update as suggested, but I am relieved to know that my setup is so secure.

Wow, my browser blocked every popup, and I thought that proxy hijacking vulnerability was going to take over but it didn't!

Nice test, interesting that IE has no vulnerabilities, as it is often quite insecure....nice thread anyway

This was pretty interesting. I tested my browser (Firefox) and it found no vulnerabilities, which is very good to know. Maybe I'll check Internet Explorer sometime later today. And just a question for others running Firefox...did Firefox block any of your popups or completely restart? It was kind of weird that I still saw the popups and the browser didn't restart even though I passed all the tests.
