Complete the installation
After installing McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection, perform these tasks on each computer to ensure
that the software is working correctly and the computer is protected.
Test virus protection
Use this task to test the virus‑detection feature of the virus and spyware protection service by
downloading the EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File at the client computer.
Although it is designed to be detected as a virus, the EICAR test file is not a virus.
Task
1
Download the EICAR file from the following location:
http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com
If installed properly, the virus and spyware protection service interrupts the download and displays
a threat detection dialog box.
2
Click OK.
If installed incorrectly, the virus and spyware protection service does not detect the virus or
interrupt the download process. In this case, use Windows Explorer to delete the EICAR test file
from the client computer, then re‑install McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection and test the new
installation.
Scan the client computer
Use this task to scan the drives on a client computer after installing the virus and spyware protection
service for the first time.
This scan checks for and cleans or deletes existing threats in files. In the future, files are scanned
when they are accessed, downloaded, or saved.
If a full scan was performed as part of the installation process, you do not need to perform this task
now. Ask your site administrator if you are unsure whether a scan has already been performed.
Task
1
Click the product icon in the system tray, then select Open Console.
2
From the Action Menu, select Scan Computer.
3
Select the scan target.
• Scan my entire computer — Scan all drives, folders, and files.
Mapped network drives are not scanned unless this feature is enabled in the policy assigned to
the computer.
• Scan a specific drive or folder — Type the full path and name of the scan target or browse to locate it.
4
Click Start Scan.
The virus and spyware protection service displays the progress of the scan.
If needed, click Pause Scan to temporarily interrupt the scan or Cancel Scan to end the scan.
5
Click View detailed report to open a browser window and display the results of the scan.
