If you want to check whether your PC having a proper real time virus protection, you can try this simple method. It is nothing much to concern. just copy paste the below code and save it as a .txt file. This line does not contain anything harm. It is a just a line of code to test the virus guards.




  • First open a notepad
  • copy these to it.    
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
  • Save file as anything.txt
If real time protection is working, you can see alert messages from your virus guard, Virus guard may automatically remove it from the computer.

I should mention that this is a simple trick to identify whether your  real time protection is on or not. This test do not say that your virus guard is the best :D
