See if your antivirus work's or not.

See if your antivirus work's or not.

1. First of all open a notepad and copy the following code into the notepad and save it as anything.txt.

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

2. Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to myfile.com

3. Now run the antivirus scan on this myfile.com file.

If the antivirus is working correctly then it should give a warning or alert and delete the file immediately. If no such warning or alert message is displayed then you either need to re-install your antivirus or change the antivirus. Important thing to note here is that most of the antivirus will display a warning message in step 1 itself and will remove the file.
