I too have not yet caught a single Nimda. I use the eicar test virus to see if Declude is working too. But I've never had a problem with Declude. I would be more concerned that NetShield is not catching the virus. Whenever I'm unsure, I send a copy of an infected file to a test account that I never check. Then just delete the main.mbx if it doesn't get caught by Declude/NetShield.
I know it sounds strange to say this, but I sure wish someone would Nimda to one of my users so I can see if NetShield is picking it up. But that is NOT a request for anyone on this list to send me a copy! I'd prefer a more controlled test, thank you very much. ;-) --Todd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adolph W.
