The EICAR virus test is a harmless text file that is detected as a virus by most AV vendors. You can use it to verify that your local virus scanner is working (just copy the string into a plain text file), check to see if your email server scans for viruses (email yourself a copy), and test if scanners detect viruses inside archives (put it inside a zip file).
To test your antivirus program against the Eicar test file.
First, create a new text file and paste the following code into it:
"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"
Then save the text as a .COM file (any name will do, like eicar.com). To test that your antivirus is doing its job, you should try emailing the file to yourself as-is as well as zipped into an archive. If you just want to test your desktop scanner, right-click the file (again, you may as well try it as-is and zipped) and tell your antivirus program to scan away.
I tried it on Norton antivirus, the moment i saved this file, Norton threw up a window.
Get access to Google Spreadsheet
Hi,
Just like me if you cant wait till Google opens up the spreadsheets site, you can get the access thru this link
As my first impression, the look and feel it melds with the other Google services like gmail and calendar. I am surprised to see a search box is missing. We could use the browsers search option to search with in on spread sheet, Google’s search will definitely help to search across all sheets and to list down all the matching entries. Probably since its lil tricky and complicated to list down all the search entries of spread sheet, they might have omitted it. I am interested to see it they could come with a innovative way to solve this.
And part from this, i also see that in share window, I cant access the contact data I have in gmail. Probably they might have saved this feature for future releases.
Apart from these the site and features look terrific.
