Thread: Test UR Antivirus

Open notepad and paste this:

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

Save it as eicar.com


Your Anti-virus will then either not let you save it of when you have saved it will remove it for you.

Don't worry about it. European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR) have got people to program Anti-Virus to recognise this as a threat (even tough its completely harmless)

Working with KIS 7.0.0.125

lol.. wonderful... as I expected, Kaspersky 2009 (version : 8.0.0.506) detected & deleted it too...

Avast Home Edition[free] Did not allow me to save it . And as usual Displayed a Visual and Audio warning "Caution a virus has been Detected" :lol:

I think that all AVs will recognize it as a threat as its as you say programmed to do so.... so how does that show that a particular AV is a good or bad ?

well avg pro, allowed me to save it, but deleted on access

answer is simple......that threat is standard set up by EICAR.......normally all the quality antivirus just follow the standard set by a well know international union.....simply.......it indicates that UR antivirus is following some internationally accepted things.....it has nothing to do with how Good/Bad antivirus is.

I am using my work computer right now and McAfee was unable to do anything at all, it allowed me to save it and then i tried to run it and it was able to run properly without any issues.

Avira AV also detected this for me...

McAfee knows better than to waste his time on silly files..........


anyway, my bitdefender 2008 didnt let me save it and also informed me that its just a test file, not a virus.

Wonderful experiment that you can do with your anti virus and know its condition that it is working right or not.

Nice one. Good job. Good stuff.
