check how good is ur antivirus

This is a easy method to find out whether ur Anti Virus is really effective in ur PC


Open notepad.

Start -> Run-> notepad
and write this code


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


and save with name virus.com or anyname.exe . I prefer you to save it in desktop.

Then scan this file with ur antivirus. If ur antivirus detects and deletes this file , your antivirus is Ok,
and it is installed properly in ur PC , but if it doesn't recognize it like a threat or Suspicious file ,
then its time to change your antivirus. Try it don't worry  , it doesn't damage any part of computer.

Note: Please don't run the file.
