AV EAGLE - Using
Using AV Eagle
This page will help you learn more about AV Eagle and how to use this program. When you run this program, this is what the control center will look like:
After starting AV Eagle, check your virus scanner and firewall in the following manner
1. Do a disk check What disk check does is writes the EICAR test file to your hard drive. This file is not an actual virus.
Once this is completed, the program will have written five different types of the EICAR test file to see what your AV scanner has done
2. Execute a file What execute file does, is writes the EICAR test file and attempts to run this file. If this file
is executed, you will see "EICAR TEST FILE" written on your screen. If this file is executed, your AV scanner did not detect this test.
3. Do a firewall check. The firewall test and extensive firewall test should make your firewall software alert that there has been a
new program try to access the internet. If your firewall does not alert, check the log file to see if it logged the event.
AV Eagle is designed ONLY to test your virus scanner and firewall. It does nothing to protect your system from viruses. You need to have an up to date
Virus Scanner and firewall software installed and running on your computer. If you have any questions please contact software designers.
