The European Anti-Virus Institute (EICAR) provides a simple way to test whether anti-virus software is valid. This way is a test standard for anti-virus software vendors to check against anti-virus software around the world.
Methods are amazing simple:
Please open "Notepad" and enter the following line of text into:
X5O! P% @ AP [4 / PZX54 (P ^) 7cc] 7] $ EiCar-Standard-AntiVirus-Test-File! $ H H *
Then use the file name "eicar.com" to save the file with "all files". After successful, the document should have 70 or 69 bytes.
Now, the exam questions have been good, you can use it to examine the anti-drug software. Please check this file with anti-virus software, if the report discovers the virus (actually not a virus), indicating that your anti-virus software is effective and protects your computer.
The discovery virus dialog box pops up when Rising software is saved. The displayed virus name clearly states (EiCar-Standard-AntiVirus-Test-File!) EiCar standard anti-virus test file (not a virus!)
After the monitoring is completed, please delete this file to avoid misunderstanding, of course, you will not find this file, because if the anti-virus software works, this file will be isolated or deleted. If your anti-virus software doesn't work, you will find this file.
