Testing your installation

Once installed, the software can scan your system for potentially unwanted files. You

can test whether it is installed correctly and can properly scan for potentially unwanted

programs by implementing a test developed by the European Institute for Computer

Anti-Virus Research (EICAR).

To test your installation:

1 Using a standard Windows text editor such as Notepad, type the following string,

on a single line with no spaces or line breaks:

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

2 Save the file with the name EICAR.COM. The file size is 68 or 70 bytes. Make a note

of the folder in which you saved the file.

3 Start the VirusScan Enterprise program.

4 To test the on-demand scanner, create an on-demand scan task that examines the

folder where you saved

EICAR.COM. When the scanner examines this file, it reports

finding the

EICAR test file.

5 To test the on-access scanner, confirm that the on-access scanner is configured to

scan files written to the computer and files read from the computer. See

Configuring the on-access scanner properties in the VirusScan Enterprise Product

Guide for additional information. Locate the

EICAR.COM file and try to copy or move

it to another location. The scanner reports finding the

EICAR test file when it

examines the file.

Note

This file is not a virus — it cannot spread, infect other files, or harm your system. Delete

the file when you have finished testing your installation to avoid alarming other users.
