How can I test that XProtect is working?

For people who have virus scanners, there is the EICAR file that they can use to test that their virus scanner is working.
While XProtect is not a true virus scanner, I would like to know if there is a file like EICAR for the Mac OS that simulates the same thing. How do I know that it's running while I am browsing the web?

XProtect will detect the EICAR test file. Download the following file:
eicar.com
Try to open it, and when it asks what app you want to open it with, select a text editor. At that point, XProtect should jump in and prevent it from opening:
Of course, it won't actually damage your computer, since it's just an EICAR test file and not actual malware. However, this does demonstrate accurately what would happen if you downloaded and tried to open a malicious executable file.

  • How can I test that the ITS is setup right and working?.

    How can I test that the ITS is setup right and working?.
    At present when calling a CRM transaction (BOR object) via the Nav Bar of the Webclient IC I am getting a message box with the title of 'Message from Webpage' and the content saying 'Object expected'.
    I have re-checked the transaction launcher and navigation bar profile setting and these look okay, hence my question regarding the ITS and how we might test that its functional.
    Jason

    I assume that as I also have a call to a URL (website), which is working fine, then the ITS servicer is also working fine.
    That just leads me to know identify why my BOR object is not being called correctly.
    Within the Transaction launcher I have the following settings:
    Entries
    Launch Trans ID: ZZIC1_LT01
    Component set: ALL
    Technical details
    Description: xxxxx
    Class name: ZCL_ZZIC1_LT01
    Statefull: X
    Further Technical details
    Transaction type: BOR Transaction
    Logical system: CMDCLNT600
    BOR Object type: TSTC_UIF
    Method name: EXECUTE
    Transaction Parameters
    Parameter: Object_key
    Value: CRMD_BUS2000115
    Can anyone see any problems with these entries?.
    what's the best way to ensure that 'CRMD_BUS2000115' is a BOR object?. I can run it as a transaction.

  • HT201328 How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone?

    How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone? I don't have access to another sim card at the moment. Only my AT&T sim card.

    A sure way to check is to connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click Restore iPhone (not Restore Backup). If the phone is unlocked near the end of the Restore iTunes will display "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked."

  • How can I test that index has helped me

    Hi all,
    It is called that to increase performance, an index could be created at table.
    However how can I see the performance.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Basically INDEX works like Pointer in C language. It will point to the addresses of the records which satisfy the field values in the INDEX. So searching for direct address is much easier than searching whole data base.
    U can take an example of searching for a person in the company data base. If u give the person name then there may be somany persons with the same name so u have to filter the output as per ur requirement to find the exact person. Rather if u give Employee number then it will directly return single record. INDEX will also works in the exact way.
    How to test
    Create one sample program to test(Select statements with out using INDEX). First Go to ST05 and on SQL trace, Execute your program, Trace off in ST05 and Analyze ST05.(Data base time, application server time etc).
    Now change ur select statements by using INDEX. Do the same thing above. Then u will come to know how effective the INDEX is.
    There is another command to know the execution time of the select.
    Use GET RUN TIME command before and after execution of some select query with and with out using INDEX. The difference time will be the execution time of that select. In this way also u can analize.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

All we can tell from what you've written so far is that you have some code in a trigger and you want to put that code in a package and you want to know if something you are doing there will work.

  • HT6103 As A web developer working on OSX 10.9, I need to test my website on Safari 6.1, how can I do that ?

    I have Safari 7 and some of my users use 10.7 with Safari 6 so I need to be able to test our website with previous versions of Safari, how can I do that ?

    I have knowledge of virtualization, I have been using VMWare, Parallels and VirtualBox already for windows' browsers but I was asking if there is a way of running safari 6 without a whole operating system as it's quiet heavy for testing a simple browser that should be able to run as is on my environment !
    Windows has a tool called IETester for testing all versions of IE and I was looking for more of a solution like this !?
    By the way, I like VirtualBox better as open source and it does the same as Parallels for free ...

  • How can I test my thunderbolt port? It's not working after the update to 10.10.1

    I have been using my computer with the Thunderbolt Port for a while and after updating to 10.10.1 and after I while of using my computer I tried to use the thunderbolt port with my external monitor.. and it doesn't work at all.. video doesn't come out.. I tried a different screen with the mini adapter from thunderbolt to HDMI and another with thunderbolt to VGA and in both adapters I don't get video from my mac.
    Any idea how can I test my Thunder bolt port?
    This is what I have done:
    1 cable adapter thunder bolt to mini HDMI to an LCD screen with HDMI : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
    2 cable adapter thunder bolt to VGA to an LCD screen with VGA : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
    3 cable adapter thunder bolt to mini HDMI to an 40' TV with HDMI : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
    All the test pass from the Hardware test at the startup (press D at boot time).
    Any ideas? my guarantee it's expired and no coverage. Due the nature of where the port it's installed, if this is a hardware problem seems that I will (may be) have to buy the Logic Board.. no good. No bueno!!
    Thanks!!!

  • I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose.  My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline?  How can I get that working again?

    I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years.  My phone works perfectly for both accounts.  Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline?  How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email.  I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

  • The keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

    the keyboard shortcut that turns an exclamation mark into an apostrophe no longer works in iOS 6. How can I restore that shortcut?

    Well, I for one really hate when they change this stuff.  They get us used to doing it one way for years and then they change it.  Why?  Really, seriously, truly......WHY?
    In fact, I originally noticed it had changed and then when I'd hit it, I thought it required me to touch both so I ended up with an apostrophe but then also a letter "l".  I just left commas everywhere I went for a while cuz it ticked me off so bad I just rebelled.
    In ios5 it was actually faster because it's the same move and time involved, but without the extra "slide".  So, in essence, Apple went backwards.
    Nice, eh?

    Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area)  you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.!  Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

    Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts?  If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password.  If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. Why not?

    I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. It tells me iTunes 11 is still open. What's going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Without providing details on exactly what you did it is hard to provide an answer.  It's like me saying, "This chocolate cake I made tastes wrong," but not providing the recipe for review.  Maybe it was the garlic in that particular recipe.
    If iTunes is successfully using a previous library which you rename to iTunes Library.itl then that is now the current library.
    Have you restarted your computer and then tried emptying the trash?

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!
