System information

68 Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
When attempting to download the test “virus”, Kaspersky Internet Security will
detect this object, identify it as an infected object that cannot be disinfected, and
will perform the action specified in the HTTP traffic settings for objects with this
status. By default, when you attempt to download the test “virus”, the connection
with the website will be terminated and the browser will display a message
informing the user that this object is infected with the EICAR-Test-File virus.
TESTING THE SMTP TRAFFIC
PROTECTION
To detect viruses in data streams transferred using the SMTP protocol, you must
transfer data using an e-mail system that uses this protocol.
Note
We recommend that you test how Kaspersky Internet Security handles incoming
and outgoing e-mail messages, including both the body of the message and the
attachments. To test the detection of viruses in message bodies, copy the text of
the standard test “virus”, or of the modified “virus”, into the body of the message.
 To test virus detection in SMTP data streams:
1. Create a Plain text format message using an e-mail client program
installed on your computer.
Note
A message that contains a test virus will not be scanned if it is created
in RTF or HTML format!
2. Copy the text of the standard or modified "virus" at the beginning of the
message, or attach a file containing the test "virus" to the message.
3. Send the message to the administrator.
The application will detect the object, identify it as infected, and block the
message.
