Win 7 or Avast problem? EICAR-test

On this site
eicar | THE ANTI-VIRUS OR ANTI-MALWARE TEST FILE
(scroll to the buttom) with the testvirus EICAR, Avast don't warn about EICAR in the SSL enabled https protocol, except from the first test.

The 4 test above with standard prot0col, all 4 gives warnings.

Is this a Avast setting that is wrong, or is it Windows 7 (IE8?) that causes this hole in security?

I'm new to Avast, just started yesterday after 5 years with Kaspersky, so it might be my settings that is wrong

Nobody knows about this? If not, I'm not using Avast, as I'm afraid it don't secure my PC

NOt sure about your problem there buddy, personally i dont use avast, as ive been caught out many times, it wont pick a virus out, then when i ran avg, it picked up 35..

im using avira antivirus free, works fine, havent had any problems :)

OK, I might try to switch to Avira. A lot of people inhere said that Avast was really good, but the first test I showed it, it failed.

If you go to the testsite in my first post, will avira gives warning on all 8 tests? Avast is failing on the last 3 tests. :)

rofls, i shall have a look, my nets having a big spaz so i hope it goes ok.. :P

Enzo.

ROFLZ, i did the test,and it dont pick up the last 2, but windows defender does XD

think i might revert back to my AVG + Adaware + spybot S&D combo, keeps me well protected :P

But it seems that many people are having problems with AVG? Or is it just the free version that gives problem in Windows 7?

Thank you very much for your time spend on testing :)

No problem :P, and im not having any problem whatsoever with AVG free, its running a scan atm, does its job :P

Enzo.

hmm, ill try run the test with AVG, and see how it goes :)
