Shields up! - devonite

just found this security-checking utility, and have run it on my machine.
My computer checks out as "Complete Stealth and Invisible" in all tests, which apparently is "very cool"!

How accurate/honest would you say these results are?

Gibson Research has been going a long time and is generally well thought of.
If you have a router it probably has a firewall already enabled. If so, it's the router being probed, not your PC.
