    I am unsure if I can post this. Would someone please check this link to determine if it is working. I just installed a new anti-malware program and tested with this link. No response from program.

    I don;t know about your link, but the following page has eight tests
    from the Eicar (European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) page fthat I use:

    "EICAR cannot be held responsible when these files or your AV scanner in combination with these files cause any damage to your computer. YOU DOWNLOAD THESE FILES AT YOUR OWN RISK. Download these files only if you are sufficiently secure in the usage of your AV scanner. EICAR cannot and will not provide any help to remove these files from your computer. Please contact the manufacturer/vendor of your AV scanner to seek such help."
