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...

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!

My AVG Free removed it upon scanning, did nothing when I saved and opened the file
