How to check if your antivirus is active or not?

All antivirus. (Is you antivirus working perfect?)

This trick will let you detect whether your antivirus software is working or is just a waste. We will create a file which every antivirus sofware will detect as virus but dont worry it is harmless and will not harm your computer.

• First open Notepad and copy below code into it.

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

•  Save the file as virus.exe

         As soon as you will run this file you antivirus will detect it as software. If not then you need to change your program.
