TEST YOUR ANTI-VIRUS

DO YOU WANT TO TEST IF YOUR ANTI-VIRUS IS POWERFUL & EFFICIENT ENOUGH ???

THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL CREATE A FAKE MALWARE SIGNATURE AND MAKE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS TEST IT.

Dont worry as this is a fake malware and it won't affect your computer.

STEPS :

1.Create a notepad document in your desktop.

2.Copy the following text into the notepad document ( excluding quotes )
“X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*”

3.Close the notepad document and save it with any file name.

4.Scan it with your ANTI-VIRUS software.

Your Anti-Virus should now Alert you about a Malware called EICAR Test-Not Virus.
It shows that your software is alert enough.

NB:Note just delete the notepad or follow your Anti-Virus Instructions.
