Check if your Antivirus is Working or Not!

Want to see if your Antivirus is working correctly or not ?

1. Copy this code to Notepad!

Code:

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

2. Save the file as 'Fake Virus.exe'

3. By this time your antivirus should detect this file by itself! Don't worry if it doesn't.. Scan the file manually and you get a report by your antivirus looking something like this!

4. So, if you got a warning like this.. Then, your antivirus is working perfectly!

What do I do if my antivirus doesn't recognize the file as a virus ??

There is nothing to panic about! You can try updating your antivirus OR the best way out is to get a new antivirus..

I personally recommend Avast Antivirus 4.0 Professional!
