Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.6 for Microsoft ISA Server 2004/2006 Standard Edition
The test virus was specially designed by the
organization (The Euro-
pean Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) for testing anti-virus products.
The test “virus” IS NOT ACTUALLY A VIRUS because it does not contain code
that can really harm your computer. However, most anti-virus products identify
this file as a virus.
Warning!
Never use real viruses to test the operation of an anti-virus product!
You can download the test “virus” from the official website of the
EICAR
organi-
zation at
http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
.
When the file is being downloaded from the
EICAR
website, the anti-virus pro-
gram will detect it, label it as infected, fail to disinfect it, and apply the action de-
fined by the administrator for handling such objects. Thus, under default settings
(see section 4.1 on page 20), the Internet connection will be terminated and you
will see a warning about downloading an object infected with the
eicar
virus.

Application statistics and
diagnostics
You can view Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
performance statistics using standard Win-
dows counters and modify options for notifying the administrator upon critical
events. You can also have Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
log statistics to diagnose prob-
lems that might occur when the program is filtering data streams.
This section discusses these features in more detail.
