If you want to pretend that you are a dangerous hacker with the ability to take down any PC then here is a way to show off your skills. I am not telling how to make a real virus, it’s just a fake one just for the sake of fun.


I will be using Notepad for this purpose. Here we go…..
Open up a Notepad window, paste in the following text, and then save it.

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

Then you will almost instantly see a warning that you have created a virus, as long as you have got anti-virus installed and working. If you don’t see any warning, you should probably make sure your virus scanning software is properly enabled.


This is real fun and doesn't affect the system. Please do not misuse! You can use this to verify how stable your anti-virus program is.
