Test Your Antivirus

Do you want to check if antivirus in your computer is working or not? If you want to check then you follow the following steps:

1. Open Notepad.
Type the following:

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

Now save the file with extension .exe for example : testantivirus.exe

Now you will see your antivirus warning you to delete that file. If your antivirus gives you the warning then your notepad is working fine but if antivirus is not giving warning then you have problem with antivirus...

Donot fear because it is not a harmful experiment.
