Test Your Anti-Virus

Salim 9:38 PM
Test your AntiVirus is Working or Not?

1. Open Notepad & write this X50!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
2. Save it as eicar.com
Your AntiVirus should stop you.

NOTE : If your anti-virus stops you, means the anti virus is perfectly running or else its out of date or not working properly "time to change it".

    @Srikanth Rao
    The code given in the post is standard virus code and if ur anti-virus stops it, dat means ur anti-virus is working. And if it doesnot stop it, then ur anti-virus is not working...
