Test Your Antivirus
Most of the people think about the best antivirus for their computer. Sometimes the antivirus might not be work properly. So you want to test the working of your pc antivirus but the question is how to check whether it is working correctly or not.
Today I am going to tell you how you check the working of your pc antivirus. European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) uses the following steps to test any antivirus.
At first open a notepad, copy the following code and paste it into the notepad and save it.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to testfile.com
Now scan this testfile.com file.
If your antivirus gives a warning or alert then it is working correctly and deletes the file immediately. If no such warning or alert is shown then either re-install your antivirus or use another one. An important thing is that most of the antivirus will display a warning in first step and will remove the file.

o note that AVG is essentially running a Windows 7 program with Windows 8 dressing. It opens to Desktop mode, and runs in a single window that doesn't take up the full screen.
