I was wondering what you experts make of this. At www.anonymizer.com you can test through a pull down menu "what data am i revealing right now", for a security test. I'v tried this with ZA, Sygate, and Notron-internet security 2002, all with identical results; It was able to detect my ip, my internal host name, what browser i am using as well as what plug-ins i have, and also some of the programs on my computer, and sometimes the last website i visited. What can someone do with this information. Also, the security check at symantec.com said i wasn't vulnerable to some of this information being released.


I am currently testing different firewalls to see which one to purchase, or use free. I don't want to start a new "what is the best firewall" thread, (although browsing the other threads has provided valuable info). but i have one question about sygate and sygate pro....It is the only one that fails the downloadable leak test from ww.grc.com.Do I have a wrong setting on it?
