v1.0, September 2009
The eicar.com test file is a legitimate DoS program and is safe to use because it is not a malware
threat and does not include any fragments of malware code. The test file is provided by EICAR, an
organization that unites efforts against computer crime, fraud, and misuse of computers or
networks.
Verify that the STM properly scans HTTP traffic:
1. Log in to the STM Web Management Interface, and then verify that HTTP scanning is
enabled. For information about how to enable HTTP scanning, see “Customizing Web
Protocol Scan Settings” on page 4-22.
2. Check the downloaded eicar.com test file, and note the attached malware information file.
Registering the STM with NETGEAR
To receive threat management component updates and technical support, you must register your
STM with NETGEAR. The support registration keys are provided with the product package (see
“Service Registration Card with License Keys” on page 1-6).
The STM supports a Bundle Key, which is a single support registration key that provides all three
licenses: Web protection, Email protection, and Support & Maintenance.
If your STM is connected to the Internet, you can activate the service licenses:
1. Select Support > Registration from the menu. The Registration screen displays (see
Figure 2-21 on page 2-29).
Note: Activating the service licenses initiates their terms of use. Activate the licenses
only when you are ready to start using this unit. If your unit has never been regis-
tered before you can use the 30-day trial period for all 3 types of licenses to per-
form the initial testing and configuration. To use the trial period, do not click
Register in step 4 of the procedure below but click Trial instead.
