Test AntiVirus
After installing AntiVirus, you may logically wonder, how do I know if it’s working? The answer is a test virus. The EICAR Standard AntiVirus Test File is a combined effort by anti-virus vendors throughout the world to implement one standard by which customers can verify their anti-virus installations.
To test your installation, copy the following line into its own file, then save the file with the name EICAR.COM. More detailed instructions are found below.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.
If VirusScan is running and configured correctly, when you try to save the file, VirusScan will detect the virus. If VirusScan is not running, start it and scan the directory that contains EICAR.COM. When your software scans this file, it will report finding the EICAR test file.
Note that this file is NOT A virus. Delete the file when you have finished testing your installation to avoid alarming unsuspecting
users.
The eicar test virus is available for download from the following website:

Keeping your computer running sufficiently.
When I first got my computer I didn’t realize how important having antispyware was to keeping it running sufficiently. However, it didn’t take very long for it to become perfectly clear. If you don’t have a good scan you will have many problems that could be avoided so easily. Search-and-destroy is a great option when it comes to scanning for bugs that will help you keep your computer running at its peak efficiency. The antispyware solution from antispyware which you will find at search-and-destroy will help give your PC the protection it needs to keep it in good working condition.
