How to check whether your virus guard is working properly..

An anti virus program is needed for every computer user who use their computers to transfer their  data between any kind of peripheral devices. Because it is the most common method that viruses can spread to one from other. The most suitable and simplest method that we can aware from the viruses is using a anti virus program. But the thing is most of time many anti virus programs do not work exactly. Because anti virus programs should really be updated at least one day per week, unless it will not work accurately. 

Here I have a method to check whether that the virus guard is working properly or not by using note pad. Follow these steps. 

• Click on the Start button and search for notepad and hit Enter. 
• Now copy the code given below and paste it on the notepad. 

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

• Then save it using any name that you want and add .vbs after the name that you selected and remember to change the file type as All files. See the screenshot below. 
  
• If your anti virus program works properly it should give you a notification just after you save it or after scanning your pc. Avast will give you a notification as follows.
