What information is available about you on the internet when online?

Here we go : "Head over to System-Scanner.net and get ready to be surprised! There is a desktop version as well as a mobile version. An add-on for Chrome browser is also available at the Chrome Store." ........ [ »www.thewindowsclub.com/w ··· internet ]

Paranoid?.... Sites that show what your broswer tells them...maybe

(And once again, »system-scanner.net/ knows very little of me.)

For giggles I gave it a go. Got a number of things right but wanted me to use IE. Nope. Geolocation shows me miles away.

Am I the only one concerned that that site (system scanner) is Russian and the Security tab leads to a Russian security product?

What if that site was American & the tab led to a McAfee security product?
And what if it was Kaspersky?

I have scripts DISABLED and the page showed me NOTHING AT ALL!!!!! (Except the info for my IP)

If it were American, I'd still be a bit leery when they try to sell something, but an .ru TLD is often a bit of a flag for me. And if it were Kaspersky? I know and trust Kaspersky but wouldn't download and install it from a third party site.

I'm not saying there's anything fishy, I'm saying I was concerned.

That test seems pissed off that I went there on Fx 24.4 ESR instead of IE10.

It has about 50% of the information it shows (there are quite a few blank spaces) incorrect. It claims that my battery is charging currently. I am on a wired desktop. It says my monitor resolution is 1792 x 1008. I have no idea where it gets that. The resolution is 1920x1080 on one monitor and the other one is a 46" LED HD TV.

What's really hilarious is that is claims I have NO Network Adapter and says my CPU is "Alpha". What the heck is that? (It is actually 3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-3770). It has the browser version incorrect and incorrect referrer page (but these two are the work of the Proxomitron ...Slashdot is ALWAYS my referrer page everywhere and the browser version is deliberately incorrect).

Of course, it doesn't see geolocation as I don't allow that in a browser and it can't find a mike or camera because I don't have them.

It doesn't see anything private and much of what it does see is wrong.

Will you speed up my computer too?
Am I the only one who drops a site like a hot potato when things like this are seen?
