I tried sending myself a zipped EICAR test file and Avast detected at all levels…when I created the file, when I zipped the file, when I sent the file, when I downloaded the file, and when I saved the zip file and scanned it.

I’ve checked to be sure I have the latest vps and program files.

My thought is that Avast would detect if I attempted to run the file contained in the zip file but don’t want to test that theory for fear of infection.

All scan levels are set at high.
