Hi again Igor,

I understand it’s Windows 98, right?

Correct

What are the settings of the Standard Shield (I guess that’s the provider that catches the virus at this stage)?

Correct, the settings are the default ones

I know it sounds strange, but do you have any sounds enabled (to announce the virus)? If yes, could you try to disable them and try to open the Eicar attachment again?

yep, shoudl be enabled, as it is by default IIRC, OK I’ll try to disable this and I’ll let you know (will take some time as I’m now several hundred kilometers away from that PC :wink:

I’ll keep you updated, thanks for your help Igor
