Want to check wether your antivirus is running properly or not .
Perform the following
Open an notepad and type
X5O!P%@AP[4/PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it as eicar.com.
The Anti-Virus should stop you (if it does that means its working).
Don't worry about it. European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR) have got people to program Anti-Virus to recognise this as a threat (even tough it's completely harmless)...
If not then dont worry the program dosent harm your computer just install a new anti virus
