Was just thinking about my AVP - I have it set to auto-update and once a week or so I also do a manual just to make sure.
But other than that it just sits there quietly doing its job....or at least I hope it is doing its job.

I have yet to have a virus scare - ok so I try wherever possible to only download from a product manufactuers site.

But how do we know if our AVP is working correctly without downloading some virii and checking?? But this opens up all kinds of risks

thats why i was wondering is there such a thing as neutered virii?? virii which has had its sting removed
it still contains the relevant structure to set off the alarms but cannot reproduce itself of cause damage to a computer.

has anyone heard of such a thing before??
