Car: Does a bicycle count? Rep Power: 47   |  Help with possible virus file I just checked my system and found this suspicious file calld Virus1.exe in System 32. I know the filename sounds a little cliché but I want to make sure that it really isn't spyware etc. Avast scaned the file and reported nothing. My spyware programs found nothing either. So I did a little google search, and surprise ! all the results were in french. Does anyone here know what it is ? |

LOL, it's a testfile for the EICAR (?) script by PC Security Test 2005 When you close the program too soon after the test, it doesn't have time enough to delete this temporary file used for the test. I obviously don't know if this really is true, I just translated it...do you have PC Security Test 2005 ?
