From the http://www.eicar.com website you can also download the compressed version of the
EICAR 'virus' (e.g. in the form of eicar_com.zip). Online Shield allows you to download this file and
save it on your local disk but then the Resident Shield (within Anti-Virus component) detects the
'virus' as you try to unpack it.
If AVG fails to identify the EICAR test file as a virus, you should check the program
configuration again!
4.5. AVG default configuration
The default configuration (i.e. how the application is set up right after installation) of AVG Internet
Security 2012 is set by the software vendor so that all components and functions are tuned up to
achieve optimum performance.
Unless you have a real reason to do so, do not change the AVG configuration! Changes to
settings should only be performed by an experienced user.
Some minor editing of AVG components settings is accessible directly from the specific component
user interface. If you want to change the AVG configuration to better suit your needs, go to AVG
Advanced Settings: select the system menu item Tools/Advanced settings and edit the AVG
configuration in the newly opened AVG Advanced Settings dialog.
