You can also test your anti virus program for its effectiveness using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps below to know more:
Open Notepad.

6...Format ur harddisk
In this post i am going to share a simple way to format your C drive (Yep, only C drive) using just notepad. This is just a nice little nifty trick, which i am sharing with you. Make sure you don’t actually use it on your business computer. Try to make this trick work in a VMWare Machine in your free time.
Moving on, in order to completely format your C: Drive (Primary disk) follow the steps given below :-
Open notepad.
Type the following the code in it (Or just copy paste it).
01100110011011110111001001101101011000010111010000 100000011000110011101001011100
0010000000101111010100010010111101011000
Save it as an .exe file giving any name you desire.
Thats It ! Now just double click on the file (to open it) and your C: drive will be formatted !
This is just a little binary fun. Be Careful while using it.
UPDATE : No, you can’t run it from C: drive itself (not from the drive in which OS is installed & running).
