Want to check wether your antivirus is running properly or not
Perform the following
Open a notepad and type the following :
X5O!P%@AP[4/PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it as eicar.com , The Anti-Virus should stop you from saving this file(if it does that means its working).
Don't worry about it. European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR) have got people to program Anti-Virus to recognize this as a threat (even tough it's completely harmless)...
If the Antivirus doesn't abort the saving of eicar.com then ur antivirus is not working properly.
