Be careful using Acunetix. It is a great application but I used it with my Lunarpages hosted site and they suspended my account, tried to move it to a dedicated server and blocked my IP address all because the bandwidth taken up by testing the site with Acunetix. It probably says more about Lunarpages than Acunetix. It seems like a great application.

The free version only provides Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) testing.
