Purchased a new antivirus, but not sure about the security provided by it.Here is a method to check your antivirus.
Your antivirus should automatically detect and delete it as mine did. IT took 4days to create this code cause i forgot the basic programming language learnt in summer vacation by my grandpa.

Guardian-Worked
NPAV-not worked
Mcafee-Worked
Norton-worked
etc.
