VALIDATING FILE ANTI-VIRUS
SETTINGS
 To verify that the File Anti-Virus component is correctly configured:
1. Create a folder on a disk, and copy into the folder the EICAR test “virus”
which you downloaded, and the modified test “viruses” which you
created.
2. Check that all events will be logged, so that the report file will retain
data on both corrupted objects, and on objects not scanned because of
errors.
3. Run the test "virus" or one of its modified versions.
The File Anti-Virus will intercept the call to the file, scan it, and will perform the
action specified in the settings for objects of that status. By selecting different
actions to be performed on the detected object, you can perform a full check of
the component's operation.
You can view information about the results of the File Anti-Virus operation in the
report about the component's operation.
VALIDATING VIRUS SCAN TASK
SETTINGS
 To verify that the anti-virus scan task is correctly configured:
1. Create a folder on a disk, and copy into the folder the EICAR test “virus”
which you downloaded, and the modified test “viruses” which you
created.
2. Create a new virus scan task and select the folder which contains the
set of test “viruses”, as the object to scan.
3. Check that all events are logged, so that the report file will retain data
about corrupted objects, and about objects not scanned because of
errors.
