The virus that spread in the days multiply that many companies such as Kaspersky, McAffe, Norton and others compete to create an anti-competition that is very powerful.

Is Antivirus Work?

if 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.
