Check working of your antivirus ??


Most of pc are now affected with virus and we all are using different type of antivirus but still our pc is not secure so to check proper functioning of our antivirus there is a simple trick

To Check if your AntiVirus is Working :

  • Open Notepad.
  • Now Copy this code in the text file….

    X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

  • Then save it with the name fakevirus.exe

Now, If the File got Detected Immediately .. It means your Antivirus is working Properly.

Info : This test virus was developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research (EICAR) to provide an easy (and safe!) way to test whether your anti-virus software is working, and see how it reacts when a virus is detected. It is supported by most leading vendors, such as IBM, McAfee, Sophos, and Symantec/Norton.
