My Avast 5 dident pick it up D: i put it in notepad and save it as random

I saved mine as a txt file and here is why Avast missed it.



It found it on a manual scan.
I also tried MalwareBytes and it says it is clean.

I tired unchecking those options for .txt files & then saving the Test file, but Avast still did'nt detect.

Malwarebytes can't detect EICAR Test Virus - Malwarebytes Forum

GT 500:
No, and it is not going to be added to the database.

Our research team spends a lot of time adding real malware to the database. Adding fake malware and test files like EICAR to the database takes time away from malware research, and proves nothing in the long run.
