e33 . not caught by AVG
DWAre you running the most recent virus definitions from AVG? When did you DWlast update? My AVG updates automatically every two days, I just did a DWmanual download a minute ago there's a new update - so it must be less DWthan 48 hours since the last one. Thanks, Deborah, but I do check for updates every day before opening my email - and indeed got a new update today (the second this week if I am not mistaken). But my understanding is that updating has nothing to do with detecting the eicar-file, which is there for test purposes only, as I am sure my AVG knows: I tested my system with sending myself the eicar-file a while ago. Then AVG did protest, so I am worried that it doesn't now that the file comes as an attachment to a message in a digest. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I use AVP I deleted message and attachment straight away, but wondered why someone else in this group using AVG plus TB plugin reports a proper reaction by AVG, while mine stayed dumb. So I wondered if I have somehow set something wrong. I have all email-scans etc. enabled. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Ochrid, Friday, November 08, 2002, 14:50 +0100 (8:50 AM here) Ochrid [O] in mid:10212602902.20021108145056;xs4all.nl said to The Bat List: O So I wondered if I have somehow set something wrong. I have all O email-scans etc. enabled. Do you also have (under Options - Virus Protection) the two boxes at the bottom checked that Check attachments before opening saving? This may help where the recent EICAR test file was an attachment. Just a thought... -- Regards, Ron Secord Win2K Pro (SP2) | The Bat! v1.62/Beta7 Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I just downloaded the eicar-file and tried to save it to disc: this time AVG *did* object. But I would like AVG to warn me *before* I save something to disc. (with bugbears and its off spring I was always properly warned). -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Paul I use AVG and it gave me a pop-up notification of the virus and Paul isolated it. thanks for responding, Paul, but it gets more worrying: you and someone else (forgot who) both reported that AVG *did* warn you. So I wonder why I didn't get a pop-up! Are you using the digest or reading all messages as they come in? I am a complete ignoramus on these things and try to protect my system with (Free version of) AVG and the TB! plugin. Before now I have had quite a few warnings and I have not (knowingly) changed anything in my settings. I would almost ask John to send me the eicar again... -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi All, On 8 Nov 2002 19:09:49 (my local time 10:09:49), Ochrid wrote (in mid:1991142472.20021108190949;xs4all.nl) So I wonder why I didn't get a pop-up! Like you, the AVG didn't warn me upon receiving the eicar test file last night. It turns out that the AVG plug in is not activiated. Go to Options / Virus Protection /. Select the AVG plug in, then click on the Configure button at right. Verify in the popup window whether the scan messages by this plug-in option is checked. After set up that option, my AVG works again. -- Regards, Anthony A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want to do. -- Murphy's Law on Computing Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
