How to test the virus scanning engine

In order to see what happens, when our virus scanning engine finds an infected file, you can use the EICAR (European Institute of Computer Anti-virus Research) Standard Anti-virus Test file, which naturally is not a virus, but is detected by our engine as if it were. To create a file that contains the EICAR sequence, type the following string and save it in a file having a *.COM extension (like EICAR.COM):

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

Note that if executed, this small COM file (that should have a length of 68 bytes) will display the "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE" message, and will exit.
