i did this and my NOD32 picked it up right away and deleted it.. it did it as soon as i saved the file
create a new text document... copy and paste this in it
X5O!P%@ap[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
then save it as a .com file.. any name will do.
Description:
This is a program from the European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research that can be used to test the virus detection capabilities of Anti-Virus software. This is a small .COM file for DOS that simply prints the message
EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!
when executed. It consists entirely of printable ASCII characters.
Many anti-virus products detect this file as if it had a virus. Most give a special message to make it clear that this is a test file and not a real virus. For example, when the EICAR file is scanned with a CA Antivirus solution, the message displayed is:
EICAR.COM is the EICAR test string reviewer test file.
The main use of the EICAR test file is to test that your Anti-Virus software is configured and operating as you want it to. For example, it could be used to test that resident/realtime protection is active and behaving as you expect.
