eicar (http://eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.html) is useful for file-system shield, not for behavior shield

I think there was a file that triggers Behavior Shield. I know there is a tool for AutoSandbox and i think we also had a behavior shield test tool during the avast! 6 beta. Or am i imagining things? :D

How can I get to Spycar?
First, you’ll have to agree to some words from our lawyer.

Some words ? a whole page of EULA ! that's a whole lotta EULA, rosie !   ;D

But, funny remarks aside, this might be a way to give you an idea if your AV is working.
Then again I would be more suspicious more or less.. it's just the idea that a benign malware tester is doing what the real malware would do only not for real, but I'll still sit on the edge of my seat, hoping that Avast will detect all the things its (not) doing.
Now we have virtual environments / sandboxes and also virtual malware  ;)
