AntiVir Server/ Professional using a test virus. This will not cause any damage, but it will
force the security program to react when the computer is scanned.

Scanning for Possible Errors
If you notice that AntiVir Guard does not display the expected messages or does not take
the relevant action, you have to check the configuration.
 Check whether AntiVir Guard is running. Type:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/guard/avguard status
 Start AntiVir Guard if necessary.
 If you use AntiVir Guard in conjunction with dazukofs ensure that the file system
location for which you want to enable OnAccess protection, is mounted with
dazukofs.
Use the mount command to see a list of all mounted file systems/partitions.
 If you use AntiVir Guard in conjunction with dazuko2 make sure that the file system
location you want to protect is specified by means of the IncludePath option. Also
ensure that the AccessMask is set to a value different from 0, since AntiVir Guard
will otherwise fail to start.
 Check the messages in the logfile of AntiVir Guard or in syslog in order to isolate
errors.
