Firewall Leakage Tester
Do you have a firewall already?
Download Firewall Leakage Tester to check the effectiveness of your firewall. Leak
Test is a safe and small (27k bytes), completely benign "chameleon utility" which can be used to simulate the presence and effect of Trojan
horses, viruses, and adware/spyware running in your computer. It simply and quickly tells you whether it has been able to slip out past your
firewall's outbound Trojan/Virus/Spyware protections and establish a standard TCP connection with our NanoProbe server. If the result shows
leakage, you better do something about it.
