Hi,
We can test the capability of our Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware software manually.
visit http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
There’ll b a neat article about checking our anti-virus software with EICAR test files.
Checking Anti-Spyware/Anti-Malware/Anti-Rootkit softwares:
!. Choose any executable files like flash files, archieve executables wtc
2. rename it to system32.exe or services.exe or something similar to system files.
3. Copy that file to critical system locations like C:\windows or c:\windows\system32
4. run that file, ensure the realtime protection of your anti-spyware software/antirootkit is on.
5. wait 5 to 10 minutes
6. If the Antispyware/rootkit did’t show a warning yet, then its the time for your security software folks!
