Test Antivirus software efficiency, check your installed antivirus

Viruses are made to interrupt, damage and delete system files and they also make their copies in system. We must need some authentic anti virus software to protect our system. If u have installed the same software, I will tell
you how you can check that it is working or not. Please follow the steps:

1.    Open Notepad from Accessories or type notepad in Run command.

2.    Now type this code carefully in notepad. (You can copy this code and paste in Notepad)

    

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

3.    Save this file at desktop with this name “myfile.com”

4.    Close the notepad, go to the desktop, right click at the file you saved , and run scan with installed antivirus software. If it is working fine, it would declare this file a virus and delete it. But if it doesn't show it a virus, it is confirmed that it is not working properly. Update or Re-install your security software and use this method again.
