What this tells you is that your AV product is working. That is the reason for having this file. what it does not tell you and cannot is that you are totally protected. Your level of protection depends on the quality of your AV product. Take a look at the independent test programs to determine whether AVG is sufficient for your needs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <blind-computing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Subject: [access-uk] I may be protected, but need reassurance



Hi all,
I use AVG Free. I looked on the Grisoft site to see how I can check that my 
e-mail scanner is properly working, and it told me to download something
called the Eica test file. So I did, and it saved to my desktop, eventually, when I told AVG to ignore it. Then what I did is opened Outlook Express and created a new message to myself and attached the eica.com file. When I tried 
to send the message, however, AVG came up and told me that a threat was
detected, so I clicked ignore. Does this mean I'm protected when I'm at
least sending e-mails? Thanks!
