Scanned ports question

Hi,
I have been visiting http://grc.com for testing my ports with
ShieldsUp for a long time now with no negative effects and
LeakTest will show if FW is ok.

Hope this helps

Regards



Was curious to know how my firewall is holding up since it's been a
long time since I used one of those websites that scans/tests your
vulnerable ports for you. So I recently visited these three sites and
ran their ports scanner tests:
http://vector.servehttp.com
http://probe.hackerwatch.org
http://www.pcflank.com

Ever since then my firewall has shown a five-fold increase in the
number of "alerts" that outside computers have been trying to get in.


Is this coincedence or ....

Also is there any software that tests if you have unwanted leakage
*out* to the internet?
