Title: Escaner https en avast 19.3.2369 en windows 10 y 7 64bits (VirtualBox)
Post by: gatocan2066 on March 30, 2019, 10:41:57 PM
A very strange thing.

I was testing windows 10 and 7 in VirtualBox with avast free 19.3.2369 in both systems.

Under windows 10 pro (a very old version of 2015) with firefox 66.0.2 the https scanner in firefox works well, detects the 2 eicar, both in http and in https:

http://2016.eicar.org/download/eicar.com (http://2016.eicar.org/download/eicar.com) (detected in windows 10 64bits under firefox 66.0.2 with avast free 19.3.2369)
https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com (https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com) (also detected in windows 10 64bits under firefox 66.0.2 with avast free 19.3.2369)

But under Windows 7 ultimate 64bit this happens:

http://2016.eicar.org/download/eicar.com (http://2016.eicar.org/download/eicar.com) (detected in windows 7 64bits under firefox 66.0.2 with avast free 19.3.2369)
https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com (https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com) (not detected in windows 7 64bits under firefox 66.0.2 with avast free 19.3.2369, allows download)

************************

Because the https scanner works under windows 10 pro 64bits and does not under windows 7 ultimate 64bits, repair does not help, I did and https in firefox 66.0.2 with avast free 19.3.2369 does not detect the eicar.

Under Iexplore or Chrome if that works.

What happens to avast with the firefox under windows 7 with in the https scanner ?.

Law in the forum that works (which is true only in part) works for windows 10, if it did on windows 7 it would be even better.  :(
