  1. I submitted a 68-bytes EICAR file for the new standard, but they didn't accept it.
    I challenge anyone to make it smaller and still run everywhere. :-D

  2. Of course I mean 59 bytes in EICAR2, not 68 bytes.

  3. I imagine the (only) requirements are:
    - print the same string and terminate
    - all ASCII based

    What did you change then ?
