Whenever I go here KAV keeps popping up with the EICAR-Test-File web anti-virus warning from anandtech why? Should I deny it all but then I can't get to some anandtech pages and the page to see what the virus details are pops up with the same error. If this is a safe file how can I be sure it is ok to allow it ?Should I select the Apply to all option or just allow it one by one to be sure ? Fixed it.

You should try a Goggle search and see what happens...

Smilin's signature contains the EICAR test-file line, which is undoubtedly tripping your defenses. Although I've never seen an antivirus program trip on his signature before, personally

I dropped a PM to our resident forum admin, maybe he can correct this.

FWIW I am running Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 on 2 different pc's w/ Web Anti-Virus on 'Maximum protection', everythng else maxed out + heuristics on detail, and I get zero warnings when I visit any thread where Smilin has posted. I am able to edit his sig, but it appears that the OP is the only one experiencing the issue.

Johnbear007 in the hot deals thread also reports it, we need more information on their versions.

Wow thats amazing. KAV is very impressive. So should I allow it or disallow ? When I disallow the page doesn't come up is there any harm of allowing it ?

What version and build # of Kaspersky?

7.0.1.321

What about you?

 

[John]

I am using the original build of 7.0 which is 7.0.0.125. Others have reported issues with the build that you're using: http://www.wilderssecurity.com...86&highlight=kaspersky

Would you be interested in uninstalling your version, installing the AV or IS version of .125, then see if you get the same Eicar message when viewing the thread that you linked to?
