Default Test Your Browser's Security

Can someone hack into your computer via your browser? How vulnerable you are? Can websites install spyware through your browser?

Scanit's Browser Security Test automatically checks your browser for various security problems. When the test is finished you get a complete report explaining the discovered vulnerabilities, their impact and how to eliminate them.

By the way that link is not working. I personally use zonealarm firewall for this issue, just to be on the safe side. Is there any other ways to find out or rectify whether we are vulnerable to such threats. Is those free firewall from zonealarm enough for a normal home user or need anything more?
