But it is perfectly OK :smiley: !

If you check the EICAR file definition, you’ll see that it should be detected only IF:

  1. this string is on the begining of the file
  2. if the file is 68 bytes long (or a little bit longer with white spaces on the end).

If some antivirus detects it in the Lockergnome message, it actually fails to meet the definition! You can cut the string however and paste it into some file - and it will be detected there by avast!
