Hey friends you can test your anti virus software is working or not.
Just you have to follow simple instructions....
# open Notepad application and save following string as it is. this string is 68 character long
X50!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save this file as eicar.com, if your anti-virus software stop you, then it your anti-virus softwares is doing good. Its not harmful either but if the anti virus is active it will warn you. if it does not then your anti virus is good for nothing.
