RAV Antivirus Virus Message
« on: July 04, 2002, 01:57:31 AM »
I was testing RAV with the EICAR Test file "virus" (www.eicar.org) -- for some reason, every 2 minutes RAV will sent out an email notifying of a virus in an email, however, there are currently (as far as I can tell) no emails waiting to be delivered. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated..
