Test virus protection

Test the virus-detection feature of the virus and spyware protection service at any time by downloading the EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File at the client computer. Although it is designed to be detected as a virus, the EICAR test file is not a virus.

To run a test:

1Download the EICAR file from the following location: http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com

If installed properly, the virus and spyware protection service interrupts the download and displays a threat detection dialog box.

2Click OK, then select Cancel.

If installed incorrectly, the virus and spyware protection service does not detect the virus or interrupt the download process. In this case, use Windows Explorer to delete the EICAR test file from the client computer. Then reinstall Enforced Client and test the new installation.

Scan the client computer

After installing the virus and spyware protection service for the first time, we recommend running an on-demand scan of all client computer drives before proceeding. This checks for and cleans or deletes existing threats in files. In the future, files are scanned when they are accessed, downloaded, or saved.

To scan your computer:

1Click Scan the client computer in the system tray.

2Select Scan Tasks, then select Scan My Computer.
