Do you get free online viruse tests?

I found one and it scanned, found 1 vulnerabily and the solution was to buy xyz :/ Is there something that removes as well?

Just be careful of these online virus scans. Some of them actually install trojan popups that say you're infected and need to buy their software to remove it.

I've come across one in particular several times now on different people's machines.

Read about some issues with 2.1.0.31 regarding boot problems after installing it, and restoring MBR's and all sorts of inconvenient stuff. Can anybody confirm this with 2.1.0.31?

This is only testing "leak-tests". The problem with this sort of testing is that it is only testing the outbound nature of the firewall. In addition to this, some of the "leaks" being tested are actually flaws with IE etc that are having to be blocked by the firewalls. IMO, a far better test is one that tests the inbound nature of the firewalls.

BTW: I use Sunbelt/Kerio and have never had a virus/malware infection.
