2. Copy paste below code and save the file with your desire name. (e.g : abc). It is recommended to save it as executable file such as "virus.exe".
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Remember to select "All files" in the "Save as type" field. This how the file looks like;
Wait after a while and the AV windows pops up.
You can also save as "txt" file but you need to scan the text file manually.
* If your antivirus can detect this file as a virus, that means your AV is working just fine provided that your AV supports the EICAR test file.
* This test file allows you to test your AV software without using the real computer virus.
* If your AV does not detect it, just delete the file. It has no use at all. Do not worry! it is COMPLETELY HARMLESS.
