How To Check The Strength Of Your Antivirus?

There are lots of Antivirus software introduced. They all claimed to be the best antivirus software in the world. They offer free trial version as well as paid version. Some of them claim that Norton antivirus is best, some say that Kaspersky, some says AVG is best. But it is difficult to compare which antivirus is good for the computer. I am teaching here a method to check the strength of your antivirus. If the antivirus passes the test then you can think that your antivirus is good and if it fails to pass the test then I recommend you to switch to next antivirus software. So let's start.

Check The Strength Of Your Antivirus

• Go to Notepad and copy the code below and paste it in Notepad.

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

• Save with with .exe or .com extension. For example virus.exe or virus.com.
• After you save the file, Run the file. If your antivirus detects it as a threat then your antivirus is good and strong and if it doesn't detect then search for another antivirus.

Try it on your PC and tell us on the comment box below, does your antivirus passed or failed the test.
