There are tons of antivirus available in the market, some are free and some are paid as well. Now in this trick I would teach you how you could check whether your antivirus is actually saving your computer or laptop from viruses or it is just sitting idle.
Kindly follow the below mentioned step to do reality check for antivirus:
- Open a Notepad on your computer
- Mow simply copy and paste the below mentioned code in it.
X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
3. Now save this Notepad as W2H.vbs  on your Desktop.
4. If your Antivirus is actually real, it would not allow this file to be saved, or even you get success in saving it on desktop, Original antivirus would delete this file.
