After installing Antivirus software, you may not know whether it is working or not? If that's the problem then your answer is to test the antivirus software. You can test your antivirus software by just giving some time for it.
To test your installation, copy the following line into its own file, then save the file. 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 that file. When your software scans this file, it will report finding the test file.
Note that this file is NOT A VIRUS. Delete the file when you have finished testing just delete the file.
