Virus Demonstration

[erling]

Βρήκα το παρακάτω στην σελίδα της F-Secure.

Εγώ το δοκίμασα και το αντιλαμβάνεται σαν virus αλλά εγώ έχω και το πρόγραμμα της f-secure.

Αν θέλει ας το δοκιμάσει κάποιος άλλος στο δικό του anti-virus

 

EICAR

Name : EICAR

Category: Clean - Not Malware

Type: Other

Platform: W32

 

Summary

The correct operation of F-Secure Anti-Virus products can be tested with a special test file.

 

This is a dummy file which is detected exactly as if it were a virus. This file is known as the EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test file. The EICAR test file is also detected by several other antivirus products in a similar manner.

Additional Details

To create an EICAR test file, use any text editor to create a file with the following single line in it:

 

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

 

Save the file with any name using a COM extension; for example, EICAR.COM. Make sure you save the file in standard MS-DOS ASCII format. Now you can use this file to demonstrate what occurs when a virus is detected.

 

Naturally, the file is not a virus. When executed, EICAR.COM will display the text "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!" and exit.
