Some of you REALLY need to take this to heart and start thoroughly checking the sites you order from.
If that was aimed at me or the site mentioned above, when you are logged on the site it does show the locked security symbol on the url.
:)

You need to go read what's in that link. ;)

Locked security symbol in the URL bar does not mean the site cannot be without issues.
Ok. I did just that. And I looked at the one in this site's url. Both are identical. And both show not only the symbol but the https etc..
Where else would you suggest I look?

Just to add my two cents, I placed an order at Mom and Pop Vapor shop and VapeNW yesterday, my first online orders since deeming took effect. Neither site had AV that I could see. Just straight checkout and got my shipping notices today. I dont know if it matters that I have accounts with them and have shopped with them before 8-8.

I will update more as we go along. Thanks all for this excellent thread!

Well then, when two places are saying opposite things, that puts us back to square one.

I think that each test may be looking at different things. I am not 100% positive about that but it does seem that way. Still kind of crazy that the first one would rate them a B if they have no firewall and their software is outdated. o_O

This is correct. Two totally different types of security checks. SSL Labs checks for core server issues with the SSL certificate. Sucuri checks for other things that are equally important.

As for the firewall, that's a trivial thing and an attempt at getting you to purchase their services. The outdated shopping cart software however, is pretty major.

And before some question the trivial mention of "no firewall", Linux machines come with a built in "firewall" called iptables. The firewalls you use on your routers and Windows machines is based off iptables. They're just easier to use in most cases as iptable rules can be somewhat complicated and confusing for most users.
