4 HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR ANTI-VIRUS IS EFFECTIVE.

antivirusThis is a very short post which I stumbled upon while surfing the net,& thought it could be useful for you.

There are many anti-virus which are only space-eaters,as they are redundant and sometimes,will even invite a malware/virus,rather than discard them.

With this simple trick,you can know which of your anti-virus is working and which is not.

Open a wordpad or note pad and save the code in the box.Save it as eicar.com .

While saving this,your anti-virus should warn you,but do not fret,the code is not harmful.

If the antivirus does not warn you,then its just a decoration.

You should check if its 'virus database' is up-to-date,if not try updating it or betterstill,just uninstall the application and get another one such as Avast.
