Do you mean from this page?

All four prompting "Connection reset while page loading" here, as expected.

Same here. Windows XP Home SP3 with all critical updates applied, Avast 5.0.594 with latest defs & default settings.

I was also able to download the eicar test file with no warnings.

I then deleted the first download, tried again & Avast caught it right off. Very strange.

regards,
