System information

64 Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
You can download this test "virus" from the official website of the EICAR
organization at: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm.
Note
Before you download the file, you have to disable the anti-virus protection
because otherwise the application would identify and process file
anti_virus_test_file.htm as an infected object transferred via HTTP protocol.
Do not forget to enable the anti-virus protection immediately after you download
the test "virus".
The application identifies the files downloaded from EICAR site as an infected
object containing a virus that cannot be disinfected and performs actions
specified for such object.
You can also use modifications of the standard test "virus" to verify the operation
of the application. In order to do it, change the content of the standard "virus" by
adding one of the prefixes to it (see table below). To create modifications of the
test "virus" you can use any text or hypertext editor, for example Microsoft
Notepad, UltraEdit32, etc.
Warning!
You can test the correctness of the operation of the anti-virus application using
the modified EICAR "virus" only if your anti-virus bases were last updated on or
after October 24, 2003 (October, 2003 cumulative updates).
The first column contains the prefixes that need to be added to the beginning of
the string for a standard test "virus". The second column lists all possible values
of the status that anti-virus assigns to the object based on the results of the scan.
The third column contains information about the processing of objects with the
specified status by the application. Please note that actions to be performed with
the objects will be determined by the values of the application's settings.
After you have added the prefix to the test "virus", save the new file under a
different name, for example: eicar_dele.com. Assign similar names to all
modified "viruses".
