Testing AntiVirus

Is there any way to test AntiVirus for the Web feature in ASL 5? I have the license enabled and have AV checking with a green icon under Surf Protection but don't get any errors on this page: Eicar antivirus test files

there is a site that definantely has a virus on home page. your desktop AV will pick it up so you are safe to test it.

I used this to test my web av. but only use this if you are sure of your desktop av software.

I didn't get any antivirus pop-ups from my desktop software or from the firewall on that page (I hope that means that they have cleaned the page up.) I do get a detection on the desktop software with the test files, but the firewall isn't stopping it from getting the desktop in the first place -- which it should be. Any other ideas on this one?
