Is Antivirus Work?
f you doubt whether the antivirus on your computer to work or not, we can test by using the script provided by EICAR (European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research).
The trick is as follows:
1. Open your Notepad, then copy and paste the code below in your notepad.
X5O! P% @ AP [4 \ PZX54 (P ^) 7CC) 7) $ EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE! $ H + H *
2. Text that should be in a state paste Horizontal.
3. Then Save As your Notepad with the extension. Com, the name’s up to you.
Example: antiviruscheck.com
4. If some time after you do Save As file and direct your antivirus detects a virus then your antivirus is working properly.
Do not be afraid to file we created earlier will not infect your computer even if detected by the anti-virus.
Text Code What I write above is the standard text used by the developers in particular By Anti Virus EICAR (European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research).
EICAR itself is the focal agency in the field of viruses and they create a standardization of the antiviral.
These standards are used to see the reaction when the antivirus detects the file created by the EICAR text file we created earlier with the notepad.
