How to Create a EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File<br>
Creating a file is quite easy just open Notepad, write <br>
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*<br>
and save the file as eicar.com - then try uploading it as a dropoff.<br>
<br>
Actually, as soon as you save it your anti virus should react and
try to remove the file anyway, if it does then your anti virus is
working perfectly, so you may want to turn it off briefly while you
create and dropoff the eicar.com file. If not then i guess you
should think about getting some other anti virus software for your
computer ;)<br>
