VALIDATING APPLICATION
SETTINGS
After the application has been installed and configured, you should verify
whether the application is correctly configured using a test “virus” and its
modifications. A separate test is required for each protection component /
protocol.
TEST THE EICAR "VIRUS" AND ITS
MODIFICATIONS
This test "virus" was specially designed by (The European Institute for
Computer Antivirus Research) for testing anti-virus products.
The test "virus" IS NOT A VIRUS because it does not contain code that can harm
your computer. However, most manufacturers of anti-virus products identify this
file as a virus.
Warning!
Never use real viruses to test the operation of an anti-virus product!
