Take this test, it tests your computer to see how secure it is agaisnt unauthorised users (hackers) It's triggered me to look into getting a more secure firewall (currently I use windows xps built in one) might download zonealarm, used it a long time ago and it was awesome!

So how secure is your computer?

Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.

It would almost be impossible for me to test my PC, I'm on my college's LAN, and they have a lot of security measures set in place. I didn't do anything. I tried the port test, and I've never had any security issues at all. I guess I trust the network here.

Totally secure - on all tests.

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE!

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED.

1 Ports Open
1051 Ports Closed
4 Ports Stealth
---------------------
1056 Ports Tested

The port found to be OPEN was: 80

Ports found to be STEALTH were: 135, 139, 445, 593

Other than what is listed above, all ports are CLOSED.
Messenger Spam didn't appear to do anything.

... Is that good? or what? Cant make sense of it.
