Files infected with viruses - Warning
riyadhali opened this issue · comments
Hello. When I downloaded the files to Windows and extracted them, the antivirus showed a warning for spyware files:
Among the infected files are eicar.com.txt and PotentiallyUnwanted!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file
These are test files to test the response of virus scanners. If your virus scanner did not find these files, then it is not a proper virus scanner. We use these to test if clamav and oletools can successfully scan and report these files during CI/CD.
