Scanit, a young IT company that specializes in network security audits, 
  announces the release of the Browser Security Test, an online
automatic test for web browser security vulnerabilities. It is available
at http://www.scanit.be/bcheck/

Browser Security Test is a one stop security assessment for web
browsers. It gives an immediate report on discovered vulnerabilities and 
recommendations on fixing them.

Each test attempts to exploit a vulnerability and only if it is
successful, the vulnerability is reported, so there are pretty much no
false positives.

The tool currently tests for 17 different vulnerabilities, mainly in
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
