[Guide]Test your antivirus is up to scratch

Ok i will show you one simple trick to test your antivirus.

 

Open your notepad.

Paste this code:

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

 

(The text should be in one line.)

 

Save file as "checkantivirus.com" including quotation-marks (make sure it is saved in extention . com)

 

A few seconds after saving this file, your Anti-Virus should come with the message that this file is infected with virus asking permission for its deletion/clean.

 

This file is secure and its not going to infect your computer in whatever way. It is a standard text developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR). Every Anti-Virus is programed to load this file as a virus.

 

If your Anti-Virus will not detect this file as a virus, a program will appear as DOS window with this text EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE.

If this happens then you should probably find some other Anti-Virus up to date as you are not fully protected.

 

I hope i help you :)
