Thanks for the help,

 I went to the website :

http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
and in the download area, I selected “eicar.com”, opened it to my computer, got a DOS screen, and that was it.

 I also went the control panel route and got the message "The product was successfully updated".  However, I still have my blue icon in the taskbar with the red circle through the middle of it.

Also, do I now have a virus on my computer since downloading from that site?

Thanks,

     Jim
