I downloaded and ran this program in XP. IT said I was missing Hotfix MS02-08 even though MS update said it was installed so I downloaded all 3 versions and reinstalled them. it still says missing Hotfix MS0208.Local account password test "No user accounts have have blank or simple passwords" none of my user accounts has any password. I would not trust the security of my computer to the findings of this program.
