Test your Anti-Virus with Eicar’s fake virus code
Open Notepad and copy paste the following string and save it (as .exe if your scanner is configured to scan only specific extensions) [It’s Eicar’s AV Test code]
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

its great…my McAfee 8.5i patch 7 find it as an virus and automatic deletes it.
Thank you, works nicely. Was using it to test if my av scans over mapped network drives, it does. F-secure is nice.
Thanks a lot for the info, I tested my avast av with the code and it passed with flying colours.
tested my avira personal version 10 and it worked right after i closed the file (after savin it) so im good (y)
As i was testing out many antivirus software I found that Kaspersky and zonealarm detected it Right there and then avira also did a good job but avast did a manual scan , avg did not make it
mcafee also detect it
Tahnks for the test file
