VALIDATING APPLICATION
SETTINGS
After the application has been installed and configured, you can verify whether
the application is configured correctly using a test "virus" and its modifications. A
separate test will be performed for each protection component / protocol.
TEST "VIRUS" EICAR 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 anti-virus products manufacturers identify this file
as a virus.
Warning!
Never use real viruses for testing the operation of an anti-virus product!
