Figure 3. Real-time Anti-Virus Scanning of File Transfers
To illustrate this point, we sent an industry-standard virus scanner test file, called the
EICAR test file, from an unprotected computer to a Skype user on a Microsoft Windows
XP computer that was protected with a retail copy of Norton AntiVirus Professional.
Although the Skype client would have otherwise allowed the file transfer, the file was
immediately caught and deleted by Norton AntiVirus, while the user was alerted by the
Norton popup dialog box shown in Figure 7.
