Eicar test Virus

The resident scanner doesn’t find the zipped Virus, I’m using windows XP professional. Please check it out

Oh yes, it does. It’s a matter of settings, though. :-*

How is it done with avast professional. thanks for your advice

Joe

Oh, in the Pro version: In the Enhanced user interface, go to the Tasks folder, select Resident Protection, right click on it, select Edit, check the Advanced Configuration box, and go to the Archives ‘folder’ to make the changes. Simple, huh? ;D

Note that this can cause a major slowdown if you have lots of zip files. :-\
