1.	Solve : Virus Check?
Answer» Anybody Is there a program that can be run to check if the security protection you have installed is working and you have sufficient to stop any threats (virus's etc ). preferably one that's not trying to SELL you there product and tells you ,you need protection ,extra protection. Eaglehttp://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htmNo, nothing can tell you that the security protection is sufficient to stop any threats. The recent virulent Stration worm wasn't detected by ANY virus checker, in the EARLY days. You just use reputable SOFTWARE, and hope for the best. If you're really concerned about security, you could ask someone to try some penetration testing on/against your network, but that requires a high degree of security expertise.Quote No, nothing can tell you that the security protection is sufficient to stop any threats Thank you for your replies and i do understand with new threats coming on the scene probably everyday that computers cannot be threat free from virus's etc .I just wanted to now is there anything to test computers to make sure that you have sufficient protection to deal with the known threats that are out there to-day. Most of the test that can be tried seem to FIND SOMETHING wrong to try and sell you there products. Like for example one just told me i need anti-virus protection when i now full well i all ready have it. Eagle
