This is just a small test to find whether your Antivirus works perfectly, have all the options enabled properly etc.,

Open notepad and write this code,

PHP Code:

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

and save with name trojan.com or anyname.exe . I prefer you to save it in desktop. Remember to change the file extension.

Then scan the file with your Antivirus. If your Antivirus detects and deletes, your antivirus is good and does a clean job, but if it doesn’t recognize it like a threat I prefer you to change your Antivirus.

Caution: Don’t run the file, just scan the file with your Antivirus.

Malware bytes didn't detect it, that makes me sad.

Ya, but all the AVs that did detect it show that its a test file. I feel like MB just recognizes it as a false positive.

But still, test malware is malware.

Well MB is only supposed to be a supplement to an actual AV.
