go to google.com search FREE PORNO and click as much websites as you can. If the next day your computer is still working proper your virus thing works!

I do not reall know if there is any way to test it without actually making sure to get a virus.
On the other hand, if there are no problems one can assume that the antivirus is working...

Open up notepad, paste the following text into it:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it as a .com file, give it any name, say test.com or something and try to run it. The virus scanner should misfire and detect a virus.

Strange. But it came some error-messages because I had a problem with uninstalling norton systemworks for some months ago. I cant open it because Windows can't reach the file. It's secured, or something..

Reading this or this may help.
Of course there's nothing like a nice, clean, fresh install of Windows.

I have tried to remove from the registry, I didn't find all..
I did as your links said..
Systemwork 2003 have to be removed manually, no program who removes it.. I tried to do so..
But I still got the problem..
I totaly hate NORTON!!!

Hmm seems as if my Antivirus is working great... Pasted the "X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* "-string into a txt dokument and pressed Ctrl+s (did not had the time to rename it to a .com and execute it) and bam! Zone Alarm gives me a popup saying it has been neutralized and all that...

Zone Alarm Antivirus did the job.
