If you encounter this, remove the other virus first or work in a separate area. ____________ INSTALLATION * 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. ______________ CONTACT McAFEE * FOR QUESTIONS, ORDERS, PROBLEMS, OR COMMENTS * Contact McAfee's Customer Care department: 1.
