You can download a tiny virus test file called eicar.exe from any a-v site.
This is a file designed to look like a virus but in reality it's perfectly
harmless.

Email it to yourself and your a-v protection should come up with a warning.
You should also get a warning on downloading it, if all is set correctly.

In fact, it's so effective, I couldn't even download the thing myself
recently as a test---my ISP completely barred it. Nor could I send a copy
to myself---my outgoing email was also barred by my ISP.

Nice to know you have that sort of protection. AND they're one of the
cheapest national ISP's in Australia---there's really no excuse now for any
ISP not to provide that sort of protection, as well as antijunk /spam
protection. No need for Mailwasher now.
