Validate your browser :

Today I’m going to introduce a website which helps us to check our browser’s security. Our browsers may have bugs. This browser test will check our browser against browser bugs.

Let’s know about browser bug first. In programmers slang “bug” is a mistake in a program. Just like everybody else programmers tend to make mistakes. A bug can be a result of a typo (a programmer typed “+” where he should have put “-”) or logical mistakes.

Browsers, just like any other programs have bugs. Most bugs are just annoying. However, some bugs can be exploited to violate the security of your computer. Your browser receives and processes data sent to it by web sites. A web site can send your browser some data that exploits a bug in a browser and violates your computer’s security.

As I do not want to test your patience more, I will let you go to that browser security web site just now.

Validate your anti virus :

Although I’m using Linux, most of my friends are still using Windows. For them, virus is a great headache. Let’s help them.
How to identify whether the installed anti-virus is properly working or not? Just follow these steps and validate your anti-virus.

• Copy the following code

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

• Paste it on a notepad
• Save that file as “fakevirus.exe” without quotation marks.
• Scan that file.

If your anti virus is working properly means, it’ll delete that file immediately or it’ll detect it as a virus when you scan it, if not means your anti-virus is not working properly, it’s time to update or change to another anti virus.

This file is harmless. I repeat this file is harmless. Now, you can delete it using your anti virus or simply delete it manually. Have fun
