[clamav-users] EICAR Intermittently Not Detected with Latest Definitions

[Al Varnell]

There was a previous discussion on this the day that the EICAR signature was apparently moved to the ignore list which caused the Clamav.Test.File-7 signature to begin identifying such files. After a few days the testfile signature was dropped, but nobody from the ClamAV signature staff ever commented to the discussion.
