- KNOWN ISSUES
-
- When a macro virus is detected in conjunction with
- other viruses, the macro virus remover will not work.
- If you encounter this, remove the other virus first or
- work in a separate area.
-
- ____________
- INSTALLATION
-
- * INSTALLING THE PRODUCT *
-
- Data file updates are stored in a compressed format
- to reduce transmission time. To install your update,
- create a temporary directory and copy the downloaded
- file to the directory. Unzip the files, and copy them
- to the appropriate permanent directories, replacing
- your existing files.
-
-
- * TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION *
-
- The Eicar Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined
- effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to
- come up with one standard by which customers can
- verify their anti-virus installations. To test your
- installation, 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 important to know that THIS IS NOT A VIRUS.
- However, users often have the need to test that their
- installations function correctly. The anti-virus
- 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.
