There is an associated report for 2004:

I ran all the tests on my browser (firefox) and had no problems- which is good to hear.

You guys ever used the tools at this page to check for leaks?

Mine failed.  Read some of the  instructions.  Ugh.  I am going to find someone on VT to walk me through how to fix this stupid thing.  I took off the software firewall and use my linksys.
