Publisher's description of PC Security Test 2007
PC Security Test is a free program for Windows that checks computer security against viruses, spyware and hackers. With a few mouse clicks, users can easily control the efficiency of their protection software (anti-virus programs, spyware scanners and firewalls). PC Security Test simulates virus, spyware and hacking attacks and monitors the responses of your protection software. Don't worry, no real viruses are involved. After the tests are complete, PC Securtiy computes a security index and provides tips on improving PC security. The software also includes a quiz that allows users to test their knowledge of computer security. A printable guide entitled "10 Tips for Securing Your Computer", written by computer security experts, is also provided with the program.

Version: PC Security Test 2007 7.2
"Only good for security testing."
Pros: PC Test 2007 will test the security of your firewall for hacker's, test your anti virus program, and test your spyware protection. And give you a score of your firewall, anti virus program, and spyware protection.
Cons: After the test has completed and you close this program they have an advertisement to purchase their anti virus program.

Version: PC Security Test 2007 7.2
Pros: It checks your security settings meaning how well your antivirus, antispywares, and firewall work. It's simulated attacks can help one to improve their security settings.
Cons: Here's the real downer, every time you finish running the simulated attacks it has an add for it's anti virus and there is no way around it nor it taking you to a website to get it. After the test is complete, it recommends scanning your computer to get rid of the traces instead of removing them itself.

Version: PC Security Test 2007 7.2
"Good program, but "bad" advertising for their other products."
Pros: Gives you an idea about the security of your computer.
Has advanced test to see how your computer's security is doing.
Cons: Delivers "advertising" when you close the program and when you click "OK" it launches the download site of the other program called VirusKeeper 2006.
It's bad that they do it like that.
That's why I already removed the program from my system.
