Endlich eine Seite die auch erklärt, warum der Virenscanner anschlagen muss!
Helpful
Test file, not virus. Helps verify antivirus is working.

This website is an antivirus test website.
Note that it does not use actual virus to test the antivirus software of the user, it uses instead a set of files that were agreed by almost all antivirus manufacturers to be detected as a virus, in order to test if the software is working correctly.

This page hosts a fake virus that does nothing to your computer, but your antivirus software will give off alarms just like it would a real piece of malware.
The file is meant to ensure that your antivirus software is working properly, nothing more.

Site utile dont la seule utilité que je connaisse est de tester votre antivirus avec un fichier test inoffensif détecté par tous les antivirus (enfin.. surtout ceux qui sont sérieux)

Very good site (EICAR has the amazing thing called EICAR Standard Anti-Malware Test File, which is very useful, but what if 10 year-old find the site... HA!).

Eicar is a very very useful program to make sure that your computer's anti-virus is working as it should. All it does is send a HARMLESS file to your computer posing as a 'virus'

Useful for testing your antivirus program, either it work or not.. This provided 'virus' is HARMLESS to your computer..

CAUTION! This site contains a FAKE AND HARMLESS TEST virus! Lol, it's used to test your antivirus software.
