	UnityPro AV Tester  License: Freeware
	Everyone should have Anti-Virus installed. Everyone knows you need an Anti-Virus solution on your computer. Some people use freeware solutions, while others opt for commercial software to keep the viruses, trojans, and other malware off of their systems. How do you know your AV solution is working? You see the cute icon in the system tray, proudly showing your AV software is loaded. You run scheduled scans of your hard drives on a regular basis. Everything seems to be fine. But what about realtime scanning? How do you know your AV software is watching over files as they appear on your hard drive?

This freeware program allows you to SAFELY test your realtime Anti-Virus protection with a simple click of the button. Using the EICAR test pattern, AV Tester decrypts the test pattern in memory and attempts to write a file to the same folder where AV Tester is installed. If your Anti-Virus solution is watching, it will almost immediately go off, proving it is functioning properly. UnityPro AV Tester provides a simple way to verify your Anti-Virus solution is running.

Defective parts are most likely for to fail while they are under a heavy load, when the heat production is at its highest. The testing modules intentionally stress all components to their maximum limits to assess their integrity. Unstable parts cannot endure these pressures and will fail the tests, allowing the opportunity for an upgrade or exchange before the PC is released into a production environment. It is recommended that Hot CPU Tester should run for at least six hours to fully check the system. If a system is stable under hard conditions for six hours, it is unlikely to generate errors during normal operating conditions. Author: 7Byte Computers| Date: 4-91-2004 | Size: 1639 KB

	Paessler Netflow Tester  License: Freeware
	Paessler Netflow Tester dumps the data of all Netflow packets that a computer receives from a Cisco router. This can be useful when debugging bandwidth monitoring configurations based on Cisco's Netflow protocol. First the Netflow protocol must be enabled and configured on the router. Then the router must be given the IP address of the computer running Netflow tester so that the UDP data packets with Netflow data are sent to that computer. Just follow these simple instructions: 1) Download Paessler Netflow Tester and then start netflowtest.exe 2) Enter the IP and port number that you have configured as netflow packet target in your Cisco Router. Usually selecting "any IP" should work, in some cases the IP must be explicitly selected. 3) Enable "Start Netflow Collector". 4) You should now see a line in the logfile for each packet the computer receives. Each line shows the time, netflow version, number of flows and the IP of a packet (note: You need netflow version 5 for PRTG Traffic Grapher!) 5) Enable "Show Flow Data" to also show the corresponding flow data. 6) If you do not see any activity then the system does not receive any netflow data (e.g. due to misconfiguration of the router or a firewall blocking the packets, etc.) Author: Paessler AG| Date: 10-10-2005 | Size: 380 KB
