    Question Ever wonder if your computer is really protected right ?

    Most of the time we just buy the AV program, install it and presume it works. Here is a test that will let you know if your email protection is working and your AV is working right >> http://lifehacker.com/183733/verify-...ner-is-working

    ALL my email goes to our server in a boxtrapper and in linux i open it up to see if it has a bug, and blacklist the sender if anything looks out of place, linux is the best way to do the email thing and internet too.

    It took me a couple tries to save the test file correctly. At first I thought my av was failing. As soon as I got it right my McAfee snagged it and sent it to quarantine as soon as I tried to save the file.

    This is a fake virus....I wouldn't suggest this site if I felt it would harm a members pooter. I ran it on mine quite a few times before posting this. Everybody should check and test there AV and IS once in a while to make sure you are protected and have it set up right.
