EICAR test Virus

January 29, 2009 · by · in General · Leave a comment

I had never heard of the EICAR test virus before.  EICAR stands for European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research.  Basically it’s just a 68 or 70 byte com program that all major antivirus should pick up as a virus.  This enables you to test the functionality of your antivirus program without the risk of using […]
