Windows 10: GRC leak test

Discus and support GRC leak test in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security to solve the problem; I don't know why I commingled Windows firewall with Defender but it says something about my skills or lack of them. I did run SFC right after Defender... Discussion in 'AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security' started by maranna, Oct 23, 2016.

    GRC leak test


    I wouldn't touch McAfee with a 10-foot pole (just my opinion). Haven't used Norton since it was a resource hog years ago. Just (2 weeks ago) finished cleaning a system filled with malware and PUPs (but no viruses!) that had Norton 360 on it. I'll let you decide. *Wink I've had good luck with Kaspersky in the recent past; also Avast, but not the paid version with firewall, so really can't say.

    First of all, take anything from Steve Gibson with a huge grain of salt, plus he has done very little but whine on his podcast for the last 10+ years. He tends to over-hype minor issues that are essentially tradeoffs between security and usability. ie., the only truly secure computer is one that is locked in a room with a faraday cage and no network. However, such a computer is largely useless. You have to take some risks to improve usability, and you have to decide what a good tradeoff is.

    The leak test is theoretical, and to my belief misinterprets the results he sees. I went into this in another post here, you might try searching for it...
