Antivirus program is not detecting any worms/viruses?

Are you able to see the symptoms of virus infection in your computer?, What is your installed antivirus program doing?, Is it sleeping? Why your antivirus program is not working well, and detecting any virus programs, virus infections, Malware infections, ad-ware programs, all kind of virus programs? Still searching for a good solution? If you say "Yes" then you must find it quickly.

Reason for "Antivirus program is not detecting any kind of virus programs":
Do you have installed Original Antivirus program with your own purchased license? Yes/No
If you select "No" then you must uninstall the currently installed pirated copy/ Original Antivirus with someone's license/Beta/trail version antivirus program from your computer. Do you know why? because, when the antivirus company make new virus definition updates, they might include some programs to detect the above type installs. If you have installed a type from the above types of antivirus program, then those detecting programs come with the virus definition updates, let your computer down by stopping the antivirus program from the best service.

So, make sure. you didn't install a pirated version/Beta version/trail version/ original version with someone's license of antivirus programs. If you don't like to purchase a paid antivirus service then you can go with free antivirus program which is suitable for personal/home computers. I can frankly say that "Free version of the antivirus programs are suitable for personal/home computer.

Have you installed more than one antivirus program in your computer? Yes/No
If you say "Yes" then you have to select one best antivirus program from your installed antivirus programs and have to uninstall other antivirus programs. If you have installed more than one antivirus program then there will be ore complexity in your computer, because all the antivirus program will try to remove one virus infection, so there will be a big competition. because of that some time all the installed antivirus programs might fail in doing virus infection detection. but, if you have installed one antivirus program then there won't be competition. That antivirus program will clean it easily without any complexity.

Do you have fixed internet connection like ADSL ? Yes/No
If you say "Yes" then you already have set your antivirus programs' virus definition as automatic update. Even though you have set it as automatic, you have to check your antivirus program weekly to confirm that you antivirus program is having up to date virus definition data. Because  if your antivirus program don't have, up to date virus definition data also could be the reason of your antivirus program's sleep. So, you have to keep it up to date. If you say "No" then you have ensure that, at least you are updating your antivirus program's virus definition once a week by downloading from internet cafes or using other ways.

Have you installed your antivirus program correctly? Yes/No
If you say "No" then you have to uninstall it, and install it again in an administrator type user account, if you need, you have get help of your friends or internet guidance from Youtube.com Because, when you didn't install the antivirus program correctly then there will be some problems for the antivirus program, for running the service correctly. So, you have to ensure that all your antivirus program in installed correctly.

Are you still using the old version of your antivirus programs? Yes/No
If you say "Yes" then you have to upgrade/download the new version immediately. Because, Whenever they release new version, they introduce new features, hot fixes for the bugs identified in previous version. So, if you didn't upgrade or change to that version, there will be some security holes, which help the virus programs to come inside without any evidences. So, make sure you have the latest version of your antivirus program.

Have you tried to disable your antivirus program for few minutes? Yes/No
If you say "Yes" then you should not do it again. Because you might have disabled it, to use an illegally downloaded program. But with your knowledge or without your knowledge your computer might get virus infection from those illegally downloaded programs. There won't be problem, if your antivirus program is very good. But if your antivirus program is not that much good then there will be problems. So try to avoid disabling your antivirus program. But if you are in an emergency, and you have to disable it for few minutes then when you enable it or it automatically gets enabled, you have to do a deep antivirus scan. Otherwise your are in trouble.

Have you tested your antivirus program by purposely scanning a virus program? Yes/ No
If you say "Yes" then go to the next step. If you say "No", then you have to download a virus program to check your antivirus programs performance. But you might have confusions like, it is possible to download antivirus programs easily from the internet buy how to download a virus program, which should not harmful for your computer, and help us to test our antivirus program. You don't need to worry. it is possible.

Next Step:
Still, you didn't find any improvement then you have to install "Microsoft Security Essential" to fix the internal problems likes some barriers which stops the antivirus programs in that start-up. You can also go for some paid software to do the same kind of fix, but Microsoft Security Essential is better than others.
