VERIFY IF YOUR DESKTOP SECURITY SOFTWARE


DETECTS DRIVE-BY DOWNLOADS OF MALWARE



As soon as this page is accessed by a browser, a simulated “drive-by download”
is initiated – the EICAR test file (called “eicar.com”) should start
downloading.

If you are able to download this 68 byte file successfully, your anti-malware
solution is NOT configured correctly or DOES NOT conform with industry best
practice.

The EICAR test file was developed by the European Institute for Computer
Antivirus Research (EICAR) and Computer Antivirus Research Organization (CARO)
to test the response of computer antivirus programs. Instead of using real
malware, which could cause real damage, this test file allows people to test
anti-virus software without having to use a real malware sample.

So, this file is NOT actually malicious, but by industry-wide agreement this
file is detected as malicious by mainstream products with antivirus
functionality so that people can verify that their anti-malware product’s
detection capability is configured correctly.
