Eicar Virus Detection Failure
As an Untangle Partner we need a simple and safe way to be able to demonstrate to clients that Untangle can stop viruses and other malicious software.
A test we use for AVG is to attempt to download the sample virus from eicar_org/anti_virus_test_file.htm (add a .org back in there to make the link work) that throws up an infected file dialog from AVG. Unfortunately neither the free antivirus nor the Kaspersky antivirus we purchased as part of our Partner Pack actually detects this file.
Is there another sample we could use that will be detected by Untangle or are there plans to add this sample virus to the heuristic scanner?
Also limiting posting of url's for new members seems counter productive to using these forums for feedback from partners.
