1. create an empty file anywhere on your pc, conveniently on your desktop (find an empty space, right click, new -> text document).

2. open your newly created file (probably with default name new text document.txt)

3. copy and paste this code on that file.

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

4. save your file as test.com

5. expect to see your antivirus software jump into action. (this is a harmless test so you can just ignore what your antivirus is suggesting.)

6. if your antivirus software does not do anything...

"The game never ends until the player quits."
