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.

Hello,

 

With recent virus definition updates, we have noticed that the standard EICAR text files are intermittently not being flagged as having a virus. There is an existing bug report for this here: https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12490. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?

 

Thanks,
