RE: Virus check...what is this ???

EICAR is just a test file to see if your antivirus detects it, i wouldnt be worried about it :)

while surfing on net i found this they called past this on your note pad & save if your antivirus show warning thats mean your antivirus working good.
As they says i try & really when i paste it first emisoft shows fake malware warning & then comodo shows a threat detected message & then emisoft shows a message u will need to reboot your computer.

What the heck these r simple enlish letters & some numbers how they could be a threat
Can someone tell me what is this ?

The coding is as harmless as a fly. It it an eicar test file that tests if your antivirus program is working properly. It is not a virus so don't worry.




For extensions for FireFox I would recommend Bitdefender TrafficLight, WOT, and Adblock plus.

As everyone has said it's a virus test file.

Not bad, but I see that your using Firefox portable any reason why? Also a few addons that you could add to Firefox, Lastpass, Ghostery, WOT and Adblock Plus plus any reason for not having a backup option?

Just a few I recommend:
Thanx for suggetion actually i m using firefox portable for privacy i hide it from desktop , another member of my family uses installed version & another reasons is i m using many extention & surfings on a dangerous websites so i use this for private use & i use norton identity safe as a WOT coz it has a passward manager too.I also read littlebit as you recommend me now after ur suggetion i must read about these softwares,
Thanx it will improve my knowledge.
