Is your antivirus working?

[lohas]

Maybe when you might need to check the proper functioning of an antivirus program.

Produce the virus in a test is very simple. Just open any text editor (notepad + + notepad) and copy following code:


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


Then save the file to any name, only that the end of the *. exe. If your antivirus program is working properly, it should respond immediately after a file saving.

It is true that you created the virus is not dangerous, it only outputs the text "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!"

This only works if your antivirus has the definitions for that particular code. Seeing as it's so simple, most AV come default with that.

It is not work, actually!! but I am sure that the anti-virus I use now is good, I use KIS, and it work perfectly for me!!
