im glad you guys found this helpful.

the strange thing is that my AVG 7.5 free, did not detect the virus.it detected it after i scanned the folder in which i saved it, so i guess its active shield is not that good.

I'll be transferring to avast home edition now, that AV passed the active shield test

Wow someone finally posted the site.I forgot they had that.Saw it on tv.Avast passed it.

didn't work with my AVG until I scanned it, spy sweeper found it when saving though.
thanks for the test

Zone-Alarm Security Suite let me save the file but almost in the same second it came up with a found virus and that was indeed the virus I just made.
On another PC, where I also did the test, let AVG antivirus free me didn't save the file...

which site?? which tv show are you talking about? is this off topic?

I was able to save the file, but when I tried to open it my Sophos Anti-Virus version 7.1.0 deleted it right away!
