Andyslogos,

If i try to download the any of the eicar viruses i get this warning:

If i disable webshield i get this warning with eicar.com (i was to press ok it would let me download it)

However i won’t get this second warning with the eicar.zip or eicar2.zip files because they are archived, however if you was to scan them or try to unzip avast it would warn you with the second message strait away :slight_smile:
This is the same for the eicar.txt

Anyway which EVER button I click my PC just frezzes on 'file download' and I have to cntrl/alt/delete.

Are you sure your system is clean?

EDIT: BTW, i have just installed 7-Zip (7z) and archived a malware sample, i can comfirm my original thought that avast can scan 7-Zip archives (unless there passworded of course ;))
