This is what the notification looks like:

avast! [NEMESIS]: File “C:\ei\eicar.com” is infected by “EICAR Test-NOT virus!!” virus.
“Simple user interface” task used
Version of current VPS file is 0403-19, 03/26/2004

NEMESIS is the name of the computer.
So – you should probably be all set.

I believe there was some ini switch for customizing this message – please let me know if you want to know more about this…

Thanks
