Test your AV

I saw this on another forum, I thought that this could be useful.


1. Make a txt file.

Put these lines into it.

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Click to expand...

2. save it as. "All Files" and name it "TestAV.com" or anything else, it just need to have .com at the end.

Now it should pick it up, as a virus. It's 100% safe.


On my image it say. "Virus has been removed"

my eset ss didn't even need to make the name of the text file with .com on end i deleted it in an instant xD

Never even thought about this. It worked with Comodo Anti-Virus. Thanks for sharing!

No problem. If you did not get it, there would be something wrong with your AV
