Firewall-scan your computer online

It was sygate place before to scan your pc, now it is Norton place.

http://scan.sygate.com/home_homeoffice/sygate/index.jsp

I was using default rules in Comodo and the scan told me the name of my pc, so I add a rule after this to solve this problem.

 

Doesn't support win2003 unfortunately.

 

I suppose this is the best you can expect from Symantec

Running 2k & Opera

 

Hmm, a scan with Norton states ICMP Ping open and Port 22 open. Check with ShieldsUp shows full stealth. Using XPSP2, Linksys Router and Kerio 4 FW.........

 

port 22: SSH aka remote access.
Surely there is a bad configuration in your router.

 

I'm using Firefox with IE quick tab, so I can immediately load an IE compatible tab; thus I could run this scan easily.

The dweeby thing is: this Symantec scan said I had no firewall problems, but it "could not detect any anti-virus protection" (!!) I guess Symantec does not recognize nod32 v. 2.7 (beta) as "legitimate" av protection. I wonder if I'd had 2.5 loaded?? Would they have recogized that ??!!

Talk about arrogance.

Hello,
That scan used to work well before Symantec ruined it.
Now you need "special" javascript to run it. What a joke. I stopped at EULA.
Mrk

P.S. Reading some other people's comment. Bloody hell. I'm going to install the AOL browser and Norton 2009 just to test it.

 

Thanks for the reply but I cant see where to close those ports on the Router. Im using WRT54GS with no other machine connected and wireless turned off

edit......I have checked remote access etc on system settings and it is turned off. ShieldsUP shows all my ports stealthed but now I'm nervous. Any help appreciated

 

well, you should have an option to disable "secure remote access" in some place of the router setup. You can also forward the port to a null IP.

 

NO , they wouldn't.
NOD32 it is not an "anti-virus protection" for Symantec.
Arrogance ? Stupidity ? Both ? More ?
Who knows ?

 

Symantec doesn't appear to recognize Avast, either.
Oh well, it's in good company, I guess.
Bet it doesn't recognize Kaspersky or AVG....or anything except Norton.
Any takers?

 

Up to today, I hate Symantec for ruining Sygate. That security test, what can I say about it? Just marketing and more marketing. I personally dislike it when companies push their marketing techniques to people by disguising the object as a security test or security scan for your system. At the end of it, they persuade you to buy their product to cover the holes which their test/scan found. The screenshot says it all!
It recognises its own antivirus only, this test probably uses the AV engine for Norton Antivirus. I wouldn't trust it anyway. Thanks to this company I'm now stuck with a bloody software firewall which is already old , but still works and offers good protection, but it's now a obsolete product with its creator taken over by someone else. I don't want to waste money for a hardware FW.

 

Gosh! please dont be so gullable to this Symantec Scam Sygates Scan was totally different to Symantecs,and this Symantec thing, is going to give negative results no matter what, unless of course you have Symantec software installed It's nothing more than a ploy to get you to purchase their products
