5.4. Scanning of the whole computer

There is a potential risk that a computer virus has been transmitted to your computer
prior to AVG 9.0 File Server installation. For this reason you should run a
whole computer to make sure there are no infections on your PC.
For instructions on running a
chapter AVG Scanning.

5.5. Eicar Test

To confirm that AVG 9.0 File Server has been installed correctly you can perform the
EICAR test.
The EICAR test is a standard and absolutely safe method used to test antivirus system
functioning. It is safe to pass around, because it is not an actual virus, and does not
include any fragments of viral code. Most products react to it as if it were a virus (
though they typically report it with an obvious name, such as "EICAR-AV-Test"). You
can download the EICAR virus from the EICAR website at www.eicar.com, and you will
also find all necessary EICAR test information there.
Try to download the eicar.com file, and save it on your local disk. Immediately after
you confirm downloading of the test file, the
warning. This Resident Shield
your computer.
If AVG fails to identify the EICAR test file as a virus, you should check the program
configuration again!

5.6. AVG Default Configuration

The default configuration (i.e. how the application is set up right after installation) of
AVG 9.0 File Server is set up by the software vendor so that all components and
functions are tuned up to achieve optimum performance.
