You can try the EICAR Anti-virus Test File. This will test your anti-viruses' ability to detect virus signatures. Even if the anti-virus couldn't find it when you download it or when you scan it, it is in no way harmful to your computer.

How do i scan this computer using nod32 antivirus?
ESET NOD32 AntiVirus has both a Smart Scan as well as a Custom Scan option. On our test computer with 70GB of used space on its hard-drive it took NOD32 54 minutes to perform its Smart Scan, which scans all local hard-drives and disks. The Smart Scan was comparable in speed to Norton Antivirus (which took 49 minutes), and Kaspersky Antivirus (which took 47 minutes). NOD32's virus scanner also found 3 virus infections that several other antivirus programs (including Kaspersky & Norton) missed on our test computer which we thought was virus-free. So, Eset's virus database definitely impressed us. for further information please visit - http://www.pccare247.com

Which is the best free antivirus?
Three AV companies are well known for producing free and good antivirus:1- AVG free antivirus (free.avg.com)It includes antispyware and antivirus. Its detection level is good. It also provides link scanner which doesn't work and is of no use. Its resident shield works good. It scans for viruses, malwares, trojans, browser hijackers, spywares etc.2- Avira (free-av.com)Its detection level is much better than AVG, but it doesn't scan for tracking cookies which AVG does. Its resident shield is much better than AVG. Also, it doesn't scan for spywares. It scans for viruses, malwares, trojans, jokes, dialers etc.3- Avast free (avast.com)If we look at the media reviews regarding the free antivirus, avast is considered as the best at present. It also doesn't scan for tracking cookies but it scans for trojans and malwares at which other competitors are found too weak. It is pre-set to update automatically.So, the best free antivirus is avast.Bitdefender Antivirus Plus at Amazon, Norton AntiVirus at Discount Mountain, and Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 at Webroot are all three considered to be the best anti-virus software available, according to PCMag. All three rated very high at removing malware.All of the following are available for the Windows platform and provide basic security to the computer. Being free versions, they are lacking something that is available in the paid version. Some of these may be time limited trials. All require periodic updates of virus definitions so that the latest virus programs can be identified. Some recommend that the update is done on a daily basis or before a virus scan is performed.Popular vendors include:Avira Free AntivirusAvast Free AntivirusAVG Free EditionComodo Free AntivirusPanda Cloud FreeBaidu AVNorton AntivirusQuick heal AntivirusBitdefender AntiviriusEset AntivirusMicrosoft Security EssentialsClamAV - Clam Antivirus (also available for Linux)Every person has different opinion about a free antivirus and this doesn't help the questioner. It is a good idea to read the reviews of experts and independent antivirus test labs.AV-Comparatives and AV-Test are two independent antivirus test labs which quarterly perform test on antivirus software.I will leave the other answerers answer in-tact (see bottom)THe best free anti-virus/anti-malware program out there in Malwarebytes Antimalware. It's completely free, and it detects just short of EVERYTHING possible out there. Plus, if you do pay like 20 bucks USD, then you get real-time protection. In short, Malwarebytes= best out there. 'Nuff said.I think the best free antivirus is Avira. Because it has in it s virus base over milion signatures and it has very good Heuristic Analyser which can protect from new/"new versions" of Malwares(Virus, Trojan, Worm ...).But free version of this antivirus will not protect you from Pywareas and adwares. To protect your computer from this Malwares you can use SpywareTerminator or Microsofts Windwos Defender which is also free. I use such security in my computer.So there are links for this products :Avira : http://free-av.com SpywareTerminator : http://spywareterminator.com Windows Defender : http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspxGood Luck!
