Create a Fake Virus with Notepad

Open Notepad , paste the following text in NotePad.


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


Now save it.

Now you will see a big fat warning that you have created a virus as long as you have got Anti Virus installed and working, of course. If you don’t see any warning, you should probably make sure your virus scanning software is properly enabled.
