Question about a blocked site
« on: April 16, 2015, 10:52:32 PM »
After i install Avast for someone i wish there was a website i could go to that would auto pop up the avast infection blocked message so that i can show them if they get this the anti virus is working correctly. Does avast has a test site that they use ? Or does some one have a site that they know is blocked ?


Thanks for any help.

The eicar test was just invented for that purpose.
