# Test Threat Prevention installation

Test Threat Prevention to make sure that it is installed properly and can protect your system.

You must have enabled the On-Access Scan protection.

Access the EICAR standard anti-virus test file to test the Threat Prevention feature. This file is the combined effort by anti-virus vendors to implement one standard that customers can use to validate the anti-virus software.

1. Log on to the system as a user with administrator rights.
2. Download the EICAR test file.

`wget www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt`
3. Verify the detection in the log file.

The default location of the log file is `/var/McAfee/ens/log/tp/mfeoasmgr.log`
4. Verify your Threat Prevention installation using this log file:

`/tmp/ensltp-standalone-setup.log`
