Hmmm just tried that on a computer which is configured in a particular way
and got incorrect results.

Oh well, I'm sure its an honest mistake. It isn't like Symantec are a
security firm trying to scare people into buying their products is it?

I went there and clicking the GO returned a blank page.
Then clicked the 'test your computer's exposure' also returned a blank page.
So, I guess my security passed.
I really expected to see the message ' Your security settings prevent you
from seeing this page'.

I don't believe Microsoft ever claimed that their firewall was the "cure
all" that you claim they did. The Windows Firewall serves the purpose it
was designed for. If you need/want more, there are plenty of third-party
products to choose from.
