I do not reall know if there is any way to test it without actually making sure to get a virus.
On the other hand, if there are no problems one can assume that the antivirus is working... Very Happy

Open up notepad, paste the following text into it:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Save it as a .com file, give it any name, say test.com or something and try to run it. The virus scanner should misfire and detect a virus.

If you've done the simple example above and nothing happens when you execute then your protection is poor.

Strange. But it came some error-messages because I had a problem with uninstalling norton systemworks for some months ago. I cant open it because Windows can't reach the file. It's secured, or something..

Reading this or this may help.

Of course there's nothing like a nice, clean, fresh install of Windows.

Hmm seems as if my Antivirus is working great... Pasted the "X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* "-string into a txt dokument and pressed Ctrl+s (did not had the time to rename it to a .com and execute it) and bam! Zone Alarm gives me a popup saying it has been neutralized and all that... Very Happy

Zone Alarm Antivirus did the job.
