After installing AntiVirus, you may logically wonder, how do I know if its working? The answer is a test virus. The EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File is a c****ined effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to implement one standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus installations.


To test your installation, copy the following line into its own file, then save the file with the name EICAR.COM. More detailed instructions are found below.


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


The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.

If VirusScan is running and configured correctly, when you try to save the file, VirusScan will detect the virus. If VirusScan is not running, start it and scan the directory that contains EICAR.COM. When your software scans this file, it will report finding the EICAR test file.


Note that this file is NOT A VIRUS. Delete the file when you have finished testing your installation to avoid alarming unsuspecting
users.
