Please give me the name of that 'infamous' virus that has been around for
many years that is not a virus at all -- it is only a "fake" virus used to
test your software.

Thanks,

FLKulchar

The EICAR the test file... ?

For those of you who want to know what we're talking about, the EICAR group
came up with a harmless file detected by antivirus products so you can
safely verify the product's working.

Visit http://eicar.org , download the 68 byte file
eicar.com.txt, and copy it to your startup folder. Your AV solution (that you
should be running in addition to Windows Defender) will also pick it up."

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.
