Any way to test the Network and Web Shields?
Web Shield with EICAR in ZIP archive. If it’s detected right away it works
Network Shield cannot be tested but it works as it cannot really have any compatibility problems.
What exactly is the Network Shield. The official description is a little vague. For example, I have a two computer network. One cable on the other a remote wireless machine. Does it monitor activity between the two machines and the router or does the Network Shield provide something else?
It scans TCP/IP traffic on all network adapters, looking for malicious signatures (i.e. ATTACKS). Technically, it’s a network IDS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_intrusion_detection_system with a carefully selected set of signatures.

As RejZoR said no way to test network Shield unless you get an attack.
Okay, thanks!
