Antivirus can be considered as the main
element of any system that protects and secures your PC from any harmful online
or offline activities, a bad antivirus can simply lead your computer on the bad
path hence destroying your software and making you prone to insecure world.
Well but to overcome
this problem EICAR an online company has come up with an antivirus testing
solution code than when ran onto the system will force antivirus programs to
catch it up and hence proving that they are working.
2. Now open up your
Notepad and paste the below code into it.
X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
3. Now
just save this file, now as soon as you will hit save a virus warning will
popup stopping you from saving this file as it has been detected as virus.
4. So if you get this
virus warning that means your Antivirus is working perfectly and it is
detecting any kind of virus affecting your pc.
If you do not get any
warning than you should check your antivirus settings maybe if resident shield
might be off, if it is on and still its not detecting than its time to change
your antivirus program.
