Testing the CPM Client Console

After enabling the CPM console, your administrator may test it to verify that antivirus protection works. EICAR, the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, developed a test script as a safe way to confirm proper installation and configuration of antivirus software. Visit the EICAR website for more information at: http://www.eicar.org.

The EICAR test script is an inert text file with a .com extension. It is not a virus and does not contain any fragments of viral code, but most antivirus software reacts to it as if it were a virus.

Contact your CPM administrator for information about how to use the EICAR test script.
