i'm using avast home (4.7.892) free edition. After I installed, i tested it with download file "fake virus tester" from eicar.org,
eicar.com (
http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com), and as expected, it worked, avast can detected it (pop up "avast! Warning") and telling me that eicar.com is virus and given me an option to abort the connection. I clicked "Abort Connection", i stopped On-Access Protection and tried again... firefox save window appeared, indicated that the On-Access Protection is stopped 100%. Well... I didn't download file eicar.com yet because i aborted and close that save window.
After that, i started On-Access Protection again, and refresh a link address (
http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com)... strangely, pop up "avast! Warning" doesn't pop up
and i can still download that file!!!, it means, avast! doesn't detect eicar.com as a virus anymore.
Is that a bug ? I tested it with IE and still found a same problem.
Thank's
