Is your Anti-Virus really working???

Hello guys today I am going to teach you how to check if your anti-virus is working.



Have you ever wondered if your anti-virus software is really working? Would you like to see what happens when it detects a virus? Here's a safe way to test your computer's virus protection that doesn't require you to have a real virus.



First, open Notepad. Then copy and paste into it the text on the line below. (It should all be on one line.)



X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7%26#125;$EICAR-STAN...



Then select File, Save, select All Files for the file type, then save the file as eicar.com.



Your anti-virus software may prevent you from saving the file as eicar.com, which is a sign that it is working effectively. If it doesn't raise an alert, try scanning the folder where you saved eicar.com. To see what happens if you try to run a file containing a virus, double-click eicar.com to open it.
