EICAR TEST VIRUS STRING
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
More Information: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_98616.htm I post this so that I can open it to see if my Virus Scanner detects this line from the Newsreader. I pasted this line into an empty Notebook page, then attempted to save it to the Desk Top. Norton's instantly detected and removed it. This is a Test Expression to verify that your Anti-Virus is working. Dr. Artaud |

This is a Test Expression to verify that your Anti-Virus is working. Dr. Artaud Well, opening it didn't do anything. Like I said, take the expression, save it in a blank Notebook page, and save it to your drive. My anti- virus removed it immediately. I realize that this does not rule out .exe ..com .doc and other forms of virus. This test was done in response to the individual that said that he/she got a virus on this NG. It sounded to me to be more like an exploited problem with an HTML enabled reader that permitted the reader to spawn repetitive HTML links. Regards, Dr. Artaud |

Can't even save the file, gets trapped as a virus. Mark. Auckland New Zealand. |
