- TESTING COMMAND ANTIVIRUS
-
- For testing purposes, there is a self-extracting file called
- SE_EICAR.EXE provided on the distribution diskettes. If you run
- this file, you will find a test file called EICAR.COM (from the
- European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research). This file
- helps you verify that you installed your anti-virus protection
- properly. EICAR.COM lets you safely test custom messages that
- you create, and it also provides a way to demonstrate what happens
- when a virus is found.
-
- To test the Command AntiVirus scanner, you can either copy
- EICAR.COM to your hard drive and run a scan or you can leave it on
- a diskette and then scan that diskette.
