What is EICAR



The EICAR Anti-Virus Test File or EICAR test file is a computer file that was developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) and Computer Antivirus Research Organization (CARO), to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs. cit. Wikipedia


How it works



This is a harmless 68-byte file known to antivirus software and is intended to verify the operation of antivirus software.


EICAR inside



The content of the EICAR test file contains the following string:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*


Unuffical EICAR-like test



Files similar to EICAR are available, but they are official and therefore are not included in antivirus databases(example 1), except on an optional basis.
