7.3. Scanning of the whole computer

There is a potential risk that a computer virus has been transmitted to your computer

prior to AVG 8.5 Anti-Virus installation. For this reason you should run a Scan of the

whole computer to make sure there are no infections on your PC.

For instructions on running a Scan of the whole computer please consult the

chapter AVG Scanning .

7.4. Eicar Test

To confirm that AVG 8.5 Anti-Virus has been installed correctly you can perform the

EICAR t est.

The EICAR test is a standard and absolutely safe method used to test antivirus system

functioning. It is safe to pass around, because it is not an actual virus, and does not

include any fragments of viral code. Most products react to it as if it were a virus (

though they typically report it with an obvious name, such as "EICAR-AV-Test"). You

can download the EICAR virus from the EICAR website at www.eicar.com, and you will

also find all necessary EICAR test information there.
