And if it fails, do you get the virus?

If you fail , at least you get to learn how to format .......

p.s....( for those who think you are serious ) you simply delete the file afterwards...


...oh , and happy b-day !

I tried the directions, but cannot find the file under that name.
I did a search for any *.com file created in the past day, and I found 2 quarantined by NAV, so I guess it is working.

This might make it a little eaiser to test your anti-virus program.

I went here to check my AVG and it passed the "Download File" test so I tried the "Internet" test and nothing happened. I got a little worried that I wasn't getting very good protection until I remembered my also free Kerio Firewall. I disabled it and my AVG caught the test virus. This further convinces me of the abilities of Kerio.

I didn't do the "Email Test" as RR would catch it anyway.

Deke, I see it "automatically" blocks pop-ups, what about the open in new pages ones I want. Does it block those too?

Like opening up a link here in a seperate window (not allowing it).
Point is kinda moot now, as I installed it and tried it and I had to uninstall it to get my email.
Now when I reboot I get an .ini file error referring to a program

I am too impulsive for my own good!

BMan-The reason I didn't understand was I am running the old 2.1.5 version instead of the newest version and it has no popup blocker. They were having problems with the newer version and mine passes the Sheilds Up Test with flying colors.

It took me awhile to set the rules for it but I haven't had any problems since. Here is an excellent link for help.

Here is a link to Kerio 2.1.5 download.
