On the testing page the various test buttons are located in the blue center section and the buttons are a silver/gray. The buttons are kind of run together in a line, but hover your cursor over them and it will change when over the words.

Great site - Thanks for sharing. No matter how careful one is, you still wonder. It is nice to find a way to test the security.

I really liked that one as well. Our computers all passed, I'm not sure if it is the firewall on the router or our software. I use BitDefender and my husband uses Comodo.

It had no idea who I was *laughing*. That is all because I have
Firewall, MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials - free for Vista and
Win 7) and CA Security 2010 Plus and other options in the Win 7
that locks me up.

I just about broke up laughing when I tried to run the test, it could
not recognize me.

Good thing - because their website is not on the "approved" list and
normally I rarely surf the net anyway; so I stay on stealth mode.
I do take advantage of using the IPv6 aka "pseudo-tunneling" which
is a series of characters of alpha, numeric, and some specific character
keys over the IPv4 which is easier to trace and track down (and by
the way, they are running out of IPv4 numbers just like they are
running out of telephone numbers).

This is pretty good nifty finding here!
