HERE

I just discovered this site operated by security company Scanit
and its set of tests is quite comprehensive and covers multiple
browsers. Given the current scumware plague, I strongly
recommend you go to this site and test out your browser. It's
free and only takes a couple of minutes.

MY IE results. I think we held our own bobc...And it took only 15 minutes or so. Firefox was nearly 1 3/4 hour and I stopped it as it was at that point in time a waste.

Firefox



IE



Mlurp, how could it take so long. My FF took about 2 minutes, and IE about 4........

I can't believe it took 15 minutes on IE, and you finally quit FF after and hour and 45 minutes. Are you pulling my leg?

JR...

That's what the "Nasties" page is all about...

My time was basically the same as Woodworker's for IE and FF. Something just does not seem right.

Well I got back a medium security problem back on the test.

Mozilla Windows shell: protocol handler vulnerability (moz250180)

I have version 1.7.3 and have the patch installed, just did the check by going to about config, filter, shell and it shows it has been patched. Rather strange.

mlurp is having a serious security issues, but since he's been sticking with IE, he doesn't know it yet...M$ will fix it in next IE version...around 2012....by that time mlurp computer will be sitting at Salvation Army store....LOOOOOOOL
I apologize for being cruel, but, if someone is still using IE, at this time....
