GroupShield 5.2 for Exchange 2000 Installation Guide - McAfee

Installing the Software
Testing your installation
The EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort by anti-virus
vendors throughout the world to implement one standard by which
customers can verify their anti-virus installations.
1 To test your installation, copy the following line (without line breaks)
into its own file, as the first line in the file, then save the file with the name
EICAR.COM:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUSTEST-
FILE!$H+H*
NOTE: You must use a plain text editor to do this — not Word,
Notepad or Wordpad.
The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.
2 To test the GroupShield on-access scanner, start your e-mail client
software and insert the EICAR.COM file as an attachment into a new
e-mail and send it to a mailbox on the Microsoft Exchange 2000 server.
The on-access scanner reports finding the EICAR test file.
3 To test the GroupShield on-demand scanner, select the Log Infection And
Continue Without Attempting To Disinfect action option on the On-Access
property tab. Next, send a message that contains the EICAR test file to the
selected mailbox, then start an on-demand scan for that mailbox. The
software reports finding the EICAR test file.
4 Delete the file when you have finished testing your installation to avoid
alarming unsuspecting users. Choose another option for the action that
you want GroupShield on-access scanner to take when it detects a virus.
NOTE: This EICAR test file is NOT A VIRUS.
