How to be sure if your anti-virus program is working properly or not ? Using this simple method you can figure out if it's functioning correctly or not.
Copy the below line on a notepad. Then save it with the name of 'fakevirus.exe' or any other name you wish. Just make sure that you add .exe at the end of the file name. After you save it, give it a scan and you'll know it all.
Here's the line -
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
If your anti-virus is working, it will alert you. Otherwise you need to pay attention to your program.
