Check How Good is Your Antivirus

Everybody must have an antivirus to protect their data from being hacked by a fuckin' hacker or we can combine 2 of antivirus. I combine the KAV & KIS from Karpersky Lab with Smadav ( Indonesian antivirus ). Now, i'll tell you how we can check our antivirus if they still working or not. This is just a simple tips to check it. Actually this is a script that EICAR (European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research) have made. 

EICAR, the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, was founded in 1991 as an organization aiming to further antivirus research and improving development of antivirus software. Recently, EICAR has furthered its scope to include the research of malicious software (malware) other than computer viruses and extended work on other information security topics like content security, Wireless LAN security, RFID and information security awareness.

Now this is what you need to do :

1. Open Notepad

2. Type :

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

3. Save as file with ext .com (example : checkantivirus.com)

4. If after awhile you save as that file and your antivirus detect it rapidly it means your antivirus still working and if not you should update your antivirus or change it to a better one.



Thats all for now
