Testing the Antivirus and Antispyware services
This test is to check the AntiVirus and Anti-Spyware services you have bought which is part of the URL filtering. This will involve downloading a HTTP Anti-Malware test file.

You do not have to perform this test if you do not wish to, Claranet SOHO is not responsible for any situation that might occur if you are unable to remove this file.
