Today I created the file untitled.com with EICAR test string but the standard shield and on-demand scanner did not detect it
When I double-click on it I received the attached error message ..
then I tried to scan it with Nod32, it poped-up with an alert that this file infected with EICAR virus so I choosed to rename the file (untitled.Vcom).
Just after renaming the file Avasts4 poped up with the alert that this file is infected with the EICAR virus
Avast4 detected it in a .Vcom file and failed to detect it in a .com file
.. This is strange !!
