How to make sure your antivirus is working

Do you even wonder your AV installed is functioning as it should be?For your information, the cyber world is not safe, some experts can disable your AV. It looks function, but actually not. So it's good to check your AV sometime.

Here's a coding which is great for checking to make sure your anti-virus is working (Real time scanning, spyware protection etc),

Note : if you are only after checking the quality of the AV then this is pointless for you.






1) Open notepad and paste the following code:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

2) Save it to .txt file
If your antivirus detects the text document without scanning, then the detection level of your antivirus is excellent. If the AV does not detect the file, then try manually scanning the file with your AV.

If the AV still does not detect the file then change the extension from .txt to .exe

If the AV still does not detect the file , then there is 2 possibility
1) Your AV is suck
2) Someone "did" something to your AV

The best solution is change to the better antivirus
