Re: How to test if the antivirus is working?

Hi.
You could infect yourself with a virus, but that has the potential to do
damage to your computer.
Instead of that, I would recommend using an EICAR test file.
These files are not viruses but can test the ability of a scanner to detect
viruses.
Click on this link for some more info about the file.
