I have the resident protection for Avast set to High, and it doesn’t detect the virus, unless I manually scan the file. Any reason why this could be? Isn’t it supposed to go off with an alert?
Did you follow the instructions on how to use the EICAR test file from their website?
EICAR is not a virus, it is a test string.
Yes I did, I also looked at the page for Eicar here. I just thought it would be detected by the resident protection.
It sure is detected, even when the settings are low.
Check your settings, something musn’t be right there.
thats werid because when i go to download Eicar it stops me
