Use the information in this article to make sure that MVISION Endpoint Real Protect is installed correctly. Also, the information can help you make sure that endpoints can communicate with the McAfee cloud for detections.
Real Protect test file programs
To test Real Protect detection functionality, use the password protected file
RealProtect-TestFile.zip in the
Attachment section of this article.
NOTES:
- The password for the .zip file is clean. Password protection has been applied to the .zip file to make sure that it is not blocked when sent via email. Passwords normally meet higher security standards.
- The RP-S TestFile.exe and RP-D TestFile.exe are test programs to verify Real Protect client and cloud-based detections. They are harmless.
After you extract
RealProtect-TestFile.zip, you can run the files to trigger a Real Protect detection.
MVISION Endpoint Real Protect requires connectivity to Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) to function correctly and detect files.
McAfee products that use Real Protect send the associated lookup queries to the domain:

Real Protect client detection test
To make sure that Real Protect client scanning is functioning correctly, perform the following steps:
- Make sure that MVISION Endpoint is running.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the test utility RP-S TestFile.exe.
- Start the program. Double-click RP-S TestFile.exe.
If Real Protect client scanning is functioning correctly in MVISION Endpoint, it detects the file and prevents the file from running.
Real Protect cloud detection test
To make sure that Real Protect cloud scanning is functioning correctly, perform the following steps:
- Make sure that MVISION Endpoint is running.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the test utility RP-D TestFile.exe.
- Start the program. Double-click RP-D TestFile.exe.
NOTE: The RP-D TestFile.exe must be running for a minute for the detection to trigger.
If Real Protect cloud scanning is functioning correctly in MVISION Endpoint, it detects the file and prevents the file from running.
