    BS results focused on theoretical possibilities that are practically useless.

    I failed the test even I have:
    Latest Chrome version?
    uBlock Origin?
    Chrome integrity level as Appcontainer?
    ERP
    AppGuard?
    Agnitum Outpost Firewall?

    Hmm, I don't think I'm at risk.

    I tried it and KIS blocked something off the bat. Then it just sat there scanning and seemingly doing nothing. At that point I just cancelled it.

    Ran the test, when it reached how vulnerable my system might be to virus downloads, it went into a perpetual scan state. I terminated after about 30 mins.

    If you have Adguard for Desktop or some AVs installed the test can't complete, if you use ublock with specific filters you will get the best score.

    It is mostly an "enterprise" oriented test. Since it just check your browsers and its ability to connect to some defined websites without checking anything on your system.

    for example , the botnet test checks if you can reach a server where their c&c is located, it doesn't actually check if you have a RAT installed.

    Finally it is more a support for their product, however some tests are informative (most of the browsers oriented ones) , others just crap like those political/adult tests...

    It is actually an interesting test. I guess, that the second test probes, if you are using VPN and the third test tries to harvest data from auto-fill.

    Changing DNS to Adguard Family DNS made a difference in the filtering test, so it is actually testing, something.

    But it does not detect phishing protection at all, well since it does not scan via SSL, no surprise there. :rolleyes:

    Yesterday I hardened uBlock Origin a lot more, the same results I've got, same numbers of warnings, etc.
    This test is just a marketing tool for naive standard users.

    I could not figure out what solution they are selling. All I can see is the test.
    But I agree it is a joke.

    Yes, Maybe their tests are just a cover-up to gain browser info? About stored passwords ect.?
    And so even whatever security apps you have, even a firewall, they still get it :cautious:
