Test Virus: Android Antivirus Testing and Detection App
Test Virus is a free Android application developed by Itus Mobile Security. As the name suggests, this app is specifically designed for testing and detecting the functionality of antivirus products on Android devices. It is important to note that this app is harmless and does not pose any real threat to your device.
The main purpose of Test Virus is to assess whether antivirus products can effectively detect and handle potential threats. Upon your request, the app is capable of performing several actions to test antivirus functionality. It can extract a random file onto your Android device that meets the EICAR standards for antivirus detection. Additionally, it can extract a zip file that contains a compressed file meeting the same standards.
Furthermore, Test Virus now includes a new feature that allows it to open a harmless, test malicious website for testing antivirus safe browsing features. This ensures that your antivirus product not only detects the Test Virus app itself but also identifies and handles the files it extracts.
Overall, Test Virus serves as a valuable tool for Android antivirus testing and detection purposes. It provides a safe and controlled environment to evaluate the effectiveness of antivirus products in identifying potential threats.
