Additional feature

Could it be possible to have something like EICAR file in order to test MSAS
without playing with setings or real thread?

Thanks

anti virus and anti spyware are 2 different things

I have thought of this and I am working with the product group to see if we
can have something similar to what AV has.

Glad to hear it--I think some feature to independently trigger the app to
check whether real-time protection is alive and well is useful in a variety
of circumstances.
(and right now, we've got the PoeBot.explorer detection which handily
performs that function!)

Right-click the desktop, choose new, text file, rename the file test.bat,
and double click on it.
