This is how avast 4.8 pro deals with the EICAR.com test virus! Avast doesn't allow it to download so nothing happens and my computer is kept safe and sound!

Please sub and rate!

also comment if you want or need any help with your computer i'll try to help you as much as possable!

To test this for yourself go to: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm

  • I have tried this, but only is detected instantly when I use Internet Explorer.

    In Firefox it just downloads, I have to manually scan my download folder for detection.

    BTW

    I also use Avast! Pro 4.8 ;)

  • cool im using avira prem at the moment but avast is still good!

    alot better than AVG that will not even install on my pc!!!

  • I figured that you have to the settings onto High.

  • yeah you do

  • LOL!!!!!!!!

    By the way... when does your registration key last until?

  • it lasts for 3 years

  • Its fake Avast 4.8 has his own style!

  • @jasper800 Wrong, it's a test to see how the av would react when a real virus is found

  • @Eragon86micky HELL YEAH :D

  • @TheMariofan9000

    It is used to test your Antivirus not antispyware

  • eicar is no virus, it just a simple thing to use to test your antispyware. ;)

  • If anyone who wants links to viruses that are over a month old and that avast fails to fucking detect plz PM me!

  • You can turn the sound off.

  • What song is this? I like it!

  • nothing happens
