.So here there is a trick to check your software by using a small program with the help of 'Notepad'
Now follow the steps below to know more:
Open Notepad.
Copy the code give below in the notepad file:
X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it with an .exe extension like testvirus.exe
As soon as you save this file, your anti virus program will detect the file (virus) immediately and will attempt to delete it. If this happens then your Antivirus is working properly. If not, then its time to look for some other reliable program.
NOTE: The EICAR test file (#3) is a 16-bit application and cannot be run on 64-bit versions of Windows.
