Note
Before performing a real-time protection check, it is necessary to disable web access protection temporarily so that the test file is not intercepted during the download.
To verify that real-time protection is working and detecting threats properly, use the test file eicar.com created by the EICAR company (European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) for the purpose of testing the functionality of antivirus programs. It is downloadable from http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com. The file is benign and is supposed to be detected by all antivirus programs.
