Attached are a series of files. Once downloaded run your AV scanner. It should detect at least the file "eicar.com". Good scanners will detect the 'virus' in the single zip archive and may be even in the double zip archive. Once detected the scanner might not allow you any access to the file(s) anymore. You might not even be allowed by the scanner to delete these files. This is caused by the scanner which puts the file into quarantaine. The test file will be treated just like any other real virus infected file. Read the user's manual of your AV scanner what to do or contact the vendor/manufacturer of your AV scanner.

re:Test your virus scan

I am really thrilled to read your post regarding AV Scanner but the thing is that why is the scanner is not allowing us to delete the virus rather than putting it in the quarantine for treatment ?

Buy Kaspersky Software
