testers needed

No real-time alert by NAV and then ran a full sytem scan coming up clean.
Would SP2 be offering any extra protection?
Buck.

 

I got a blank page, Norton didn't tell me anything in real time. Did a scan and found a file which was then deleted called Promt[1].html. Don't know if thats it.

It's kind of odd!!! My extendia avk pro detectes it always with all configurations, except when you turn "heuristics" off, should I be worried about the trial with "heuristics off", or is this test OK?

 

sorry wrong info.......My extendia avk detected something in all configurations except when "check while writing" was off......not while "heuristics" was off like I stated previously. Any advice on if this is bad performance on the part of my AV? Thanks, and also will this test hurt my computer? I know I should know this, but bear with me I'm totally new to this.

 

Hi Steve,

Not to worry ... It's only the Eicar Test file. Some AVs won't report at all, because it isn't a threat ... it's just a test file to simulate, there is nothing wrong with your AVs performance, it just either ignored, are isn't a part of their detection database. Their is a similar test file for Anti-trojans written by Magnus (Trojan Hunter) for the same purpose. I don't have the url handy, but it simulates a trojan to test your Anti-Trojan, the same as above applies regarding detection/performance.

HTH,

Steve
