Testing the On-Access Scanner
1
Launch the Microsoft SharePoint server.
2
Copy the following line into its own file, then save the file with the name EICAR.TXT:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.
NOTE:
If you have any other security software installed on your server (such as McAfee
VirusScan Enterprise), you must disable its scanner during this process. This is to prevent
the file being identified by another security software.
3
Start the McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint software and add the EICAR.TXT file to
your Microsoft SharePoint SharePoint server. The McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint
on-access scanner action is configured to Prevent Upload/Download of the Item and
hence the file is not saved on your SharePoint server.

SharePoint Portal Server | SharePoint Central Administration.

4

document store. The McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint software reports finding the
EICAR test file as per the default on-demand policy setting Replace item with an alert.

Delete the file when you have finished testing your installation to avoid alarming
unsuspecting users.
7
Ensure that you re-enable on-access scanning to provide real-time protection against viruses
and unwanted files and content within your SharePoint computer.
