Test your Anti-Virus

copy below text into your text file and save as .com or .exe
----------------------------------------------------------------------
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont Worry.....it will not effect your computer....!!!

this code is called EICAR test file

The EICAR test file (official name: EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File)
is a file, developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus
Research,to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs.
The file is simply a text file of either 68 or 70 bytes that is a
legitimate executable file called a COM file that can run by Microsoft
operating systems and some work-alikes (except for 64-bit due to 16-bit
limitations), including OS/2. When executed, it will print "EICAR-
STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!" and then stop. The test string was
specifically engineered to consist of ASCII human-readable characters,
easily created using a standard computer keyboard.It makes use of
self-modifying code to work around technical issues that this
constraint makes on the execution of the test string.
