There is a great on line vulnerability tester available for free from Secunia.

I was really impressed with how good this is. It reported vulnerabilities with software and add on’s that I had forgotten I had ever installed and, more importantly, provided links to the patches required to fix the problems.

I would thoroughly recommend that you try this out at http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/

I’ve been using a nice little add on utility called LastPass. Basically it is a utility that allows you to, securely, store all your web passwords and retrieve them from any web enabled browsers and computers including iphone and itouch devices. It also includes a secure password generator to make strong passwords for you.

There is a free and premium version available. The premium version is required for use on mobile phones and also provides multifactor authetication using any USB thumb drive you might have.
