Test malware scans | Trend Micro Service Central

Before continuing with further Anti-Malware configuration steps, test real-time and manual/scheduled scans to ensure they're working correctly.

Test real-time scans

Make sure the real-time scan is enabled and that a configuration is selected.
Go to the EICAR site and download the anti-malware test file. This standardized file will test the real-time scan's anti-virus capabilities. The file should be quarantined.
In the Server & Workload Protection console, go to Events & Reports → Anti-Malware Events to verify the record of the EICAR file detection. If the detection is recorded, the Anti-Malware real-time scans are working correctly.

Before you begin, make sure the real-time scan is disabled before testing manual/scheduled scans.

Go to Administration.
Click Scheduled tasks → New.
Select Scan Computers for Malware from the drop-down menu and select a frequency. Complete the scan configuration with your desired specifications.
Go to the EICAR site and download their anti-malware test file. This standardized file will test the manual/scheduled scan's anti-virus capabilities.
