New Features for DAT files Version 9606
A few words about the Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File:
The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort by
antivirus vendors throughout the world to come up with one
standard by which customers can verify their antivirus installations.
To test your installation, you would copy the following line into its
own file and name it EICAR.COM.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
When done, you will have a 69 or 70 byte file.
When VirusScan is applied to this file, SCAN will report finding the
EICAR-STANDARD-AV-TEST-FILE virus.
It is very important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! However,
users often have the need to test that their installations function
correctly. The antivirus industry, through the European Institute
for Computer Antivirus Research, has adopted this standard to
facilitate this need.
Please delete the file when installation testing is completed so
unsuspecting users are not unnecessarily alarmed.
Notes:
The next DAT update is scheduled for July with another in Sep.
Intermediate "emergency" updates will be available only through the BBS.
___________
Known Issues
When a macro virus is detected, a message reading "No remover currently
available for this virus." will be displayed. Please disregard the
message and clean the file using the /CLEAN option.
When a macro virus is detected in conjunction with other viruses, the
macro virus remover will not work. We are still working on this. If
you encounter this, you can remove the other virus first or work in
a separate area.
____________________
Additional Known Issues
- Virus Scan NT will scan the PAGEFILE.SYS, which will cause the system
to beep. An Access Denied message will result.
- Virus Scan NT will not be able to access the boot sectors and the
Master Boot Record unless you have administrative rights. This
is due to a security feature in Windows NT. You need to log in
as a user with administrative rights to scan the master boot
record and boot sectors. You may also need the DOS version of Scan
if your system has a Boot Sector Virus.
