Is it working

[Guest]

I have had the spyware installed for about 9months now and although i use the
internet extensively it has never indicated that it has stopped any spyware.
Is there a programme I could run to check if it's working ok. Thanks. lee

Here's a test which will raise a red flag as though a genuine threat had
been detected.

I need to emphasize that there is a genuine threat which the dialog box is
intended to warn about, but the way in which you will invoke this dialog is
entirely harmless.

1) open a command prompt window.

2) cd \windows (or \winnt as appropriate for your version of Windows.)

type:

md winlogon.exe

and hit enter (i.e. create a directory/folder named winlogon.exe

wait about 15 seconds.

You should see a red warning dialog box referencing Multibot Pro Security
disabler.

You can choose either choice in that red dialog box--neither will have any
effect--I recommend allow. I do NOT recomment "allow always."

Once you've seen the warning dialog box, do this in the command prompt
window:

rd winlogon.exe

and hit enter

exit (to close the window)

This is a harmless way to invoke this dialog box and test whether real-time
protection is, in fact, working on your system. There's a longer story
behind why this works, but I won't bore you with it--it's all here in one of
these groups!
