a nice to know for everyone who is curious about the efficiency of their antivirus.harmless to so it's worth a try.

open notepad then copy paste these line:

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


then sa file, save as then use the file name virus.com. and better kng lalagay xa sa desktop for easy removal.




Run the virus.com file to test your computer efficiency. If there are

no responses from the AntiVirus software, I suggest changing your

AntiVirus immediately because it does not work anymore.

in my case, immediately after saving, it was already blocked by my antivirus and was identified as

eicar test string.

there will be a black box that will appear. run the program (harmless nmn to promise) and it should be identified as a false virus (acting lang as virus). your antivirus should react to this by blocking it.

sa case ko, pag save ko pa lang, blocked na agad xa ng norton as shown above.

this is just a simple test to see the reliability of your antivirus. kng hnd xa madetect, then i suggest kuha ka ng ibang antivirus to be less vulnerable to viruses, keyloggers and downloaders.

meh isang version pa to, fake trojan, blocked dn xa ng antivirus ko pero mas ok kng eicar muna ang try nu.

hope this helps.

ayun ang napansin ko sa avira eh. yung sikat na autopots (heal.exe) hnd nya binoblock even if ur using premium. but all other antivirus will block this file name lalo na kng executable file xa.(oo nga pala, kung heal.exe ang gamit nu na autopots, dont press f10 kasi meh keylogger na nakaincorporate jan. just open and ok na un, autopots na un)

search on google the name heal.exe and u will see it is a real spyware kaya blocked automatic ang file name na to.

yun lang comment ko. avira is a good antivirus but i suggest to have a back up antispyware like superantispyware (free).

toink ...kua pano un?? pine press ko f10 pag.. gamit ako heal.exe eh... para mag begin... f10 kc ung on and off ng auto heal ko... panu un?

@resume

well, ok lang dn yun. pero better safe di ba? pwede mo xa run and pause sa task bar. meh green na H na lalabas dun. if naka pause, red na H ang lalabas.

basta pag dating sa panduduga, wag maxado magtitiwala. rule of thumb, if you don't know where it came from, better doubt it. parang donut, walang libre sa mundo, mamaya nahulog na sa sahig yan...

yehey avira is the best but not the greatest ahahahaha.....

@gcklown

hindi ba? sorry. yung black na lumabas is a fake virus, kunwari executable file xa pero in fact wala xa laman. kng nirun mo xa at hnd nagreact ang antivirus mo, try mo update antivirus mo.

the intention of this fake antivirus to test if our antivirus will react to it, kng hnd, try mo mag change ng antivirus.

then ill post a new one, fake trojan naman, dapat lahat ng antivirus, free or licensed dapat magreact d2.

hope this helps.

meron akong Malware Bytes d2......at HiJack this

yan, maganda yang tools na yan. specially HiJack this. madaming computer techies na nag aayos ng mga virus infected systems, all you need to do is pass the logged file of HiJack this sa kanila.

kung antivirus, panay free lang although ok din naman xa.

magpopost ako ng 3 na recommended ko (except norton) hehehe. nod32, kaspersky and baka avast cgro. tignan ko sa makikita ko.
