It was just an answer to the following question:

If an important error should arise, does Avast present a popup with a Christmas offer?
Posting the eicar/example code, whilst it shouldn't be an issue, posting code in the forums is frowned upon as it could trigger alerts on the forums.
Sorry I didn't know that, because Avast (free) doesn't trigger an alarm just by pasting this code in a notepad window. Only when you scan the saved .txt file manually later or try to save it for example as a .com file, it triggers an alarm. However, that shouldn't be a reason as to why a whole posting without any notification gets deleted.
It made me feel more confident in Avast! - so thanks to Randissimo for posting that [I]quite pertinent[/I] info.
You're welcome. ;)
