Guest Mature Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hi, My version is still 2.0.11.3...how do you get 2.11.12.... Immuent here can detect this eicar test file,are you sure you test it right? 1.copy X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* some AV can detect threats at this step 2.create a txt file and paste the strings above into the txt file and save.(Immunet detected it and deleted the txt) 3.if your av still have no response,then scan this file with your AV.

Guest Armin Pasalic Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Make a clean install. Clean the Registry after un-install. This sure helped me. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloading the file from http://www.eicar.org/, we should detect it. However, if you download the zipped version it will not be detected with Immunet Protect Free, only the Plus version. I guess a little more detail on how your testing might be helpful. --Millard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Armin Pasalic Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Millard, this would be a problem if immunet doesnt detect Eicar.com file. That means, there must be an another Anti-virus that prevents Immunet from detecting - Meaning, that he must clean Registry. I also had this problem ones - but it was with eset, avast!, Kaspersky and my fix was just cleaning the registry(I install/uninstall too much av's, meaning it will leave traces behind and prevent another av from detecting) cheers!
