[Manshahia]

Kaspersky detected the so called virus

 

[rakeshishere]

Hey..Guess what..I just tested this on a machine running where i am testing Norton 360..There was complete silence and this so called virus wasn't detected at all

 

[ChaiTan3]

Norton is not only a resource hog, it is even incapable of detecting some viruses

sorry bro but avast only detects its wen we sav file usin X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
and does not detect wen us make file usin
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$Dhiraj-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

it means avaast is cheatin a bit. it simply reads that text file for EICAR n report as EICAR test file!!

You are absolutely right. But if you look carefully there are two instances of the same line with different VIRUS headers....

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$Dhiraj-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

And by the way according to Wikipedia the Eicar test string reads:

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

And that means....Avast is not cheating at all...Don't you think so....

Avast detected it after renaming the file with EICAR.com.

This AV test File indicates whether ur AV works/not and it doesn't indicate which AV is the Best

Zone Alarm caught it when I tried to open the file.

 

[abhijangda]

This is virus signature.
