• Create a new text file using notepad for any text editor.

• Opent the text file and enter the below code as text of the file.

• After the above code has been entered save the file as an . exe file instead of a .txt file. for example name the file test.exe instead of test.txt. Alternatively you can save the file as a .txt file and then rename the file after it has been saved.

• After the file has been saved the anti-virus should immediately prompt for action, similar to what is shown below. If you do not receive a prompt try highlighting the file and then right-click and choose the option to scan the file with your scanner.

You can test a virus file as follows :

1. Download a virus file in a separate folder.

2. Use the application, ask it to scan all the files.

3. Now see if that application has found that fonder suspectively or not.

If yes then OK, else uninstall that application.
