- 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 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.
