Testing virus protection
Use this task to test the virus-detection feature of virus and spyware protection by
downloading the EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File at the client computer. Although it is
designed to be detected as a virus, the EICAR test file is not a virus.
Task

http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com
If installed properly, virus and spyware protection interrupts the download and displays a
threat detection notification.
2 Click OK, then select Cancel.
NOTE: If installed incorrectly, virus and spyware protection does not detect the virus or
interrupt the download process. In this case, use Windows Explorer to delete the EICAR
test file from the client computer, then reinstall Total Protection Service and test the new
installation.
