how to test your antivirus

Almost everyone has an antivirus on their computer,Do you ever think How to test if your antivirus working,


 So, friends, to answer your question How to test your antivirus And it is our lesson today.


There are several ways to test your antivirus but the best way is test your antivirus with notepad.

some choose not to have antivirus because they think it is a boring program that is always bothering them because of the authorization to let a new program work or even because they have detected a virus in a file you were downloading.

In my opinion I think I'm safer with a antivirus, but is not enough to get an antivirus installed and is prec i so the set it as our need because there are programs that blocks antivirus without being anything more. Of course there are users who do not know how to configure an antivirus and leave it with the basic configuration and of course there are also users who configure it too much but will these settings be effective?

For this we can submit our antivirus to various tests on the Internet, I will leave some already tested by me.

1-Notepad (.txt)

A very simple test is a notebook with the following code:

X5O! P% 45@ AP [4 \ PZX54 (P ^) 7CC) 7} $ EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST- FILE! $ H + H *

For this, just write to .txt, many antivirus will alert you to the existence of a suspicious file, others will delete the existing code in the file or even delete the file, this depends on the antivirus and its configuration.

2-Spycar ( Here )

There are sites like spycar that offer test viruses to check if the antivirus is working properly. I will leave you here some files available on the spycar website.
