## Is the Infection Monkey a malware/virus?
The Infection Monkey is not malware, but it uses similar techniques to safely
simulate malware on your network.
Because of this, the Infection Monkey gets flagged as malware by some antivirus
solutions during installation. If this happens, [verify the integrity of the
downloaded installer](/usage/file-checksums) first. Then, create a new folder
and disable antivirus scan for that folder. Lastly, re-install the Infection
Monkey in the newly created folder.
## Reset/enable the Monkey Island password
When you first access the Monkey Island server, you'll be prompted to create an account.
