Verifying the application
performance
After Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed and configured, we recommend that you
verify the correctness of its settings and operation using a test "virus" and its
modifications. A separate test shall be performed for each protocol.
5.8.1.
Test “virus” EICAR and its
modifications
This test "virus" was designed by
(The European Institute for Computer
Antivirus Research) specifically for testing anti-virus products.
The test “virus” IS NOT A VIRUS because it does not contain code that can harm
your computer. However, most anti-virus products manufacturers identify this file
as a virus.
Never use real viruses for testing the operation of an anti-virus product!
You can download this test “virus” from the official website of the
EICAR
organization at
http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
.
Before you download the test "virus", you must disable the anti-virus
protection (see section 7.3, page 63), because otherwise
anti_virus_test_file.htm
will be identified by the Anti-Virus as an infected
object received via HTTP protocol and processed accordingly.
Do not forget to enable the anti-virus protection immediately after you
download the test "virus".
If you have no internet connection, you can create your own test "virus". To
create a test “virus,” type the following in any text editor and save the file as
