Hello. I have avast free. When I click on the first link of eicar tests (EICAR.COM) avast did not detect, and firefox give me options for download.Other three link avast detect it. Download via http. (Not from SSL)

Do you mean from this page?

All four prompting “Connection reset while page loading” here, as expected.

Same here. Windows XP Home SP3 with all critical updates applied, Avast 5.0.594 with latest defs & default settings.

I was also able to download the eicar test file with no warnings.

I then deleted the first download, tried again & Avast caught it right off. Very strange.
