You can also test your anti virus program for its effectiveness
using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps below to know
more:
Open Notepad.
Copy the code give below in the notepad file:
X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARDANTIVIRUS-
TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it with an .exe extension like testvirus.exe
As soon as you save this file, your anti virus program will detect
the file (virus) immediately and will attempt to delete it. If this
happens then your Antivirus is working properly. If not, then its
time to look for some other reliable program.
NOTE: The EICAR test file (#3) is a 16-bit application and cannot be run on 64 bit versions of windows
