VALIDATING VIRUS SCAN TASK
SETTINGS
 In order to verify the correctness of the anti-virus scan task configuration, do
the following:
1. Create a folder on a disk, copy the test virus downloaded from the
organization's official website
(http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm), and the
modifications of the test virus that you created.
2. Create a new virus scan task and select the folder, containing the
set of test "viruses" as the objects to scan.
3. Allow all events to be logged so the report file retains data on
corrupted objects and objects not scanned because of errors.
4. Run the virus scan task.
When the scan task is running, actions specified in the task settings will be
performed as suspicious or infected objects are detected. By selecting various
actions to be performed with the detected object, you will be able to perform a full
check of the component's operation.
You can view the full information about the results of the task in the report on the
component's operation.
VALIDATING ANTI-SPAM SETTINGS
You can use a test message identified as SPAM to test the anti-spam protection.
The body of the test message must contain the following line:
Spam is bad do not send it
After this message is received on the computer, the application will scan it,
assign the spam status to the message and will perform the action specified for
the object of this type.
