I visited the site, and found that it told me very little about my computer 
-- just what I would expect the http protocol to report to a site that I 
visit.  I did run all of the special scans under Windows 98 -- both with 
Mozilla (1.4) and IE (5.5).  All of the specialized scans reported the same 
-- No information.  This is also what the GRC site reports.

I am running a very secure firewall/proxy server that I have learned to 
trust -- WinProxy 5.0 with bundled virus protection -- on a dedicated 
machine running Windows 98SE.  Over a period of time and by visiting 
various security sites, I have tweaked it so that only the information I 
want to send out is sent.
