FireWall Tester

Are vital ports open by default behind the stealthed curtain that is your firewall? Unfortunately, this is so for 90% of Windows machines. Close these ports behind your firewall to be protected from all sides. It's a quick download, easy to excecute, and you'll most likely feel more secure afterwards.
