    The text should be in one horizontal line.

    2 Save file as "checkantivirus.com" including quotation-marks, DON'T WORRY IF WINDOWS COMPLAINS, just click 'yes' or 'okay'. Almost immediately after saving this file, your Anti-Virus should notify you with the message that this file is infected with a virus asking permission for its deletion/clean. This file is safe and won't infect your computer, it's a standard text developed by EICAR. Every Anti-Virus is programmed to load this file as a virus.

    3 If your Anti-Virus did not detect this file as a virus you can double-click it. A program will appear as DOS window saying 'EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE.' In this case you know that your anti virus application is defective.
    Yes, my AVAST! picked it up in ten seconds flat! That's what I like about Avast! It's free, updates the virus database three times a day and detects all know bugs (and some unknown ones too!)

    And just to make your day with our glorious Telkom DO BROADBAND- THE BROADEST BAND comes this report from the UK.

    "Telecoms and cable giant Virgin Media today said it will test the world's fastest broadband as demand grows for lightning-quick internet connections.
    The company said it planned to trial speeds of up to 1.5 gigabytes per second - more than 10 times faster than its current fastest service of 100 megabytes per second and 240 times quicker than the UK average."
