VALIDATING KASPERSKY <strong>PURE</strong> SETTINGSAfter <strong>Kaspersky</strong> <strong>PURE</strong> has been installed and configured, you can verify whether the application is configured correctly,using a test "virus" and its modifications. A separate test is required for each protection component / protocol.IN THIS SECTION:Test "virus" EICAR and its modifications ....................................................................................................................... 232Testing the HTTP traffic protection ................................................................................................................................ 233Testing the SMTP traffic protection ............................................................................................................................... 234Validating File Anti-Virus settings .................................................................................................................................. 234Validating virus scan task settings ................................................................................................................................ 234Validating Anti-Spam settings ....................................................................................................................................... 235TEST "VIRUS" EICAR AND ITS MODIFICATIONSThis test "virus" has been specially developed by EICAR (The European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) fortesting anti-virus products.The test "virus" IS NOT a real virus, because it does not contain code that can harm your computer. However, most antivirusproducts identify EICAR as a virus.Never use real viruses for testing the operation of an anti-virus product!You can download this test "virus" from the EICAR's official website at http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm.Before you download the file, you have to pause the computer’s anti-virus protection, because otherwise the applicationwould identify and process the test "virus" downloaded from the anti_virus_test_file.htm web page as an infected objecttransferred via HTTP.The application identifies the file downloaded from the EICAR website as an infected object containing a virus thatcannot be disinfected and performs the actions specified for this type of object.You can also modify the standard test "virus" to verify the operation of the application. To modify the "virus", change thecontent of the standard test "virus" by adding one of the prefixes to it (see table below). To modify the test "virus", youcan use any text or hypertext editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or UltraEdit32.First column of the table (see below) contains the prefixes, which should be added at the beginning of the standard test"virus" to create its modifications. The second column lists all possible statuses assigned to the object, based on theresults of the scan by the application. The third column indicates how the application processes objects with the specifiedstatus. Please note that the actions performed in respect of the objects are determined by the application's settings.Once you have added a prefix to the test "virus" save the resulting file under a name reflecting the "virus" modification,for example, having added the DELE- prefix, save the file as eicar_dele.com.Make sure you have resumed anti-virus protection after downloading the test "virus" and creating its modifications.232
