Test your Anti-Virus software with an accepted test string.

This simple VB5.0 program uses an accepted virus test string number 70. (Eicar standard test string). It should trigger your anti-virus software to either warn or automatically correct the problem depending on how you have your anti-virus software configured. I'm using Norton Anti-Virus. It removes the test string automatically as though it were a virus. It then logs the problem into the Fault Log. I like to test my anti-virus software once in a while to make sure it's running properly.
