Check Antivirus Strength

Most of us think of best antivirus. But sometime the assumed best antiviruses do not work accordingly. And now it become our duty to check the strength of the antivirus to make sure that our antivirus program is powerful and working well. The test that I am going to tell  you is know as  EICAR test which can be used to test any antivirus and was developed by European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR). If your antivirus quickly detects and deletes it, then your antivirus is working well.
