After installing a new antivirus software on your computer, you may wonder how effective is your antivirus program at detecting virus? Here's a test file to test your antivirus program.
1. Copy the following code and paste it into your notepad.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
2. Then save the file as eicar.com
If your anti-virus software prevents you from saving the file as eicar.com, which is a sign that it is working effectively.
If it doesn't raise an alert, try scanning the folder where you saved eicar.com.
If it does not show any alert then you should consider changing immediately to a more reliable one.
Explanation:
This test file has been provided to EICAR for distribution as the "EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File", and it satisfies all the criteria listed above. It is safe to pass around, because it is not a virus, and does not include any fragments of viral code. Most products react to it as if it were a virus (though they typically report it with an obvious name, such as "EICAR-AV-Test")
The file is a legitimate DOS program, and produces sensible results when run (it prints the message "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!").
You are encouraged to make use of the EICAR test file. If you are aware of people who are looking for real viruses "for test purposes", bring the test file to their attention.
