TESTING THE HTTP TRAFFIC
PROTECTION
 In order to verify detection of viruses in the data stream transferred via
HTTP protocol, do the following:
try to download a test "virus" from the official website of the EICAR
organization at: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm.
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 an action specified in the HTTP traffic settings for this type of
objects. By default, when you attempt to download the test "virus" connection
with the website will be terminated and the browser will display a message
informing the use that this object is infected with virus EICAR-Test-File.
TESTING THE SMTP TRAFFIC
PROTECTION
In order to detect viruses in the data streams transferred using SMTP protocol,
you can use a mail system that uses this protocol to transfer data.
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. In order to test detection of viruses in the body of the message,
copy the text of the standard test "virus" or of the modified "virus" into the body of
the message.
 To do this:
1. Create a Plain text format message using a mail client installed on
your computer.
