Its better to get a suitable virus protection program for your PC before some virus attack make you learn this lesson. On Windows systems, a number of antivirus programs – one better, the second worse. Regardless of which one you have, suggest a short review: make sure your antivirus is configured properly and protects you on all fronts.
All the antivirus companies have agreed to, so that they detect. Test virus:
X5O! P% @ AP [4 PZX54 (P ^) 7CC) 7) $ EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE! $ H + H *
The test virus is not doing anything wrong, it is simply a string, which is detected by your antivirus program will jump out the window with a message like “virus found”.
To test your antivirus program, try to download the following files. If your antivirus software protects you against the type of attack, you will see an alert.
1. Does your antivirus detect viruses downloaded from the Internet at HTTP?
(try to download the files below)
- a) eicar.com
- b) eicar.com.txt (changed to benign enlargement)
- c) eicar_com.zip (virus zipped)
- d) eicarcom2.zip (virus double zipped)
2. Is your antiwirus detects viruses collected in the (encrypted) HTTPS protocol?
(try to download the files below)
- a) eicar.com
- b) eicar.com.txt (changed to benign enlargement)
- c) eicar_com.zip (virus zipped)
- d) eicarcom2.zip (virus double zipped)
3. Does your antivirus detect viruses downloaded from FTP servers?
(try to download the files below)
If you can not download any of these files, it is a sign that your ISP is likely to scan traffic for viruses on your devices (and probably will immediately block them). If that link private – compassion for ‘slow internet’) If the company – Congratulations to the security policy.
If your antivirus has reported some of these viruses, in most cases the problem may be a “white list” (ie completely exclude files from scanning. txt) or off several times to scan zipped archives. There is also a chance that he deliberately turned off the type of protection against attack – in this case we hope that you know what you’re doing 
Depending on your needs, reconfigure the anti-virus, and then test again. Keep in mind that often incorporate several times to scan zipped archives or other options may not be Senu … (and effectively slow down your anti-virus).
