Test Your Antivirus Using Notepad



-Now, you can check if your antivirus really works.
-Type the following in notepad:

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

-Save the file as virus-test.txt
-Scan the file.
-If your antivirus detects this file as a virus and tries to remove it, then you can be sure your antivirus is a good one.
-This is a much easier way, than actually downloading a virus to test it.
-This sample virus code is perfectly harmless and allows you to test your antivirus. A good antivirus like MS Security Essentials will detect this test virus even before you scan it.
-That's all the tricks I'm sharing, at least for now.The tricks above are perfectly safe and will not harm your computer in any way
