To Check whether anti-virus is working or not

Procedure:

1. Open your notepad or word pad or any other text editor what you have.
2. Copy the following text

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

3. Now save the text editor file and give it a .exe extension. (Suppose virus.exe)
4. If your antivirus detect it as a virus then it is properly working.
5. If no then it is not properly working or corrupted or the validity of the antivirus has expired. So better to change the anti virus to keep your system secure from malware or virus.
