How Safe is Your Network or Computer?  The world's simplest anti-spyware test.


This is an evaluation test only!
Nothing will be fixed or scanned on your computer and NO downloads of any kind will be needed.

This test is to see how good your present firewall(s) are at blocking out evil from the Internet.

Do not surf inside these sites if you can get to them!
(The sites used in this test are fairly harmless when the test was written but web sites and people do change.)

Use the STOP button if you see the page start to load.

This test took less than 5 minutes to create (excluding time to write in HTML).  It is as simple a test as anyone can create. This test does not use any of the "backdoors" into your system. If you have access with a web browser a blacklisted web site then you ABSOLUTELY have no protection from them or any spywares associated with them!  If you can't block the "front door" the "back door" is standing wide open!

As bare minimum you should have at least one hardware firewall in your computer system regardless of how small it is; this is to keep out amateur hackers and many automated attacks.

The Windows firewall in XP or Vista is a joke and consider them as better than nothing at all. No amount of Windows programs can protect Windows completely, ...well, even partially. You can't plug Swiss cheese with Swiss cheese.

The following links do connect to possibly dangerous web sites or sites that may contain adult material. You should not use Microsoft Internet Explorer, MSN, AOL or Yahoo browsers to run these tests; any other browser is fine. If you don't understand "other browsers" then fire you present IT person or company and call us at (740) 695-1520.

Click on the following links.
They will open in a new browser or tab.
Close that window or tab to be back here for the next test.

The X on the back of the URL will have to be removed once you click on the link. Sorry that was the only way to make sure robots didn't put us down as evil.
