I first heard about Secunia when I attended a Malware-fighting conference hosted by Kaspersky in Boston. This online utility will scan your system (using a java program) for security vulnerabilities. Did you know that most people are vulnerable to system infection because of having an out-dated version of quicktime? That's right, if you don't keep certain plugins like flash and quicktime up to date you open yourself up to great risk of intrusion.

Do yourself a favor. Run the scanner and follow the instructions for updating the software on your computer, you'll thank yourself for it.

Bug.gd is an interesting web service. Have you ever received a cryptic error message from windows or an application that just completely boggled you? Or have you received an error message and understood it but simply could not find the underlying cause for the problem? Well if you have you may want to consult this website's database in an attempt to identify the problem. Just search for the error exactly as it appears and bug.gd will try and match it with currently open and resolved error reports, giving you some options to try and resolve the issue.
