Post-Installation Tasks

After installing the VirusScan Enterprise program files, it is important to test your installation

to make sure your system can detect malware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). You

can also check the location on your system where the program files were installed.

Testing your installation

You can use test files created by the European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research

(EICAR) to confirm your installation is installed correctly and can properly scan for malware and

potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Running these EICAR test files also shows you what

happens when VirusScan Enterprise detects a virus.

NOTE: The EICAR test files are safe and do not contain a virus or any fragments of viral code.

Testing for malware detection

The EICAR test file is used to confirm VirusScan Enterprise is installed correctly and can properly

scan and find malware and viruses.

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.

Task

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.
