Testing Your Virus Scanner
It is very important to routinely test your virus scanner to make sure
it is working properly. To test your virus scanner's behavior in case of
infection is quite simple. Download one of the files listed below and try
to save it to any where on your hard drive. If your virus scanner is
functioning properly it will generate a warning message upon saving the
virus testfile. If you try this from within your company or organization,
chances are that the corporate firewall or proxy server already removes or
blocks the infected file before it reaches your PC. In this case your web
browser will show an error message about not being able to download, but
the local virus scanner will not show any virus warning.
The test files below DO NOT contain any malicious
code, they simply contain a specific signature created by the US
American EICAR organization that was specifically designed to test the
functional behavior or antivirus software.
