Re: send me eicar, please
thanks everyone for either sending me the eicar file (which still doesn't get detected) or giving other hints and tips. Anthony Xin Chen: I tried to follow your instructions: Go to Options / Virus Protection /. Select the AVG plug in, then click on the Configure button at right. Verify in the popup window whether the scan messages by this plug-in option is checked. Under Configure I cannot find the button you mention (only options about sounds and pop-up windows, both checked), but in the general window all options about checking messages are checked (including: check attachment before saving to disc). so no luck there. I will try they URL several people send me, so I won't have to bother you again, asking for eicar. Thanks! -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
