Edit:
Hey
I actually got 594 virus found, but after cleaning it ended up in 589.

I'm sorry guys... Even if this is meant for "testing purposes", this is illegal anyhow...

If you want to test your software, look for virusses yourself, or go to the eicar.com site

K2 nicely opened the thread again.

However the mods of iexbeta feel that they do not wish the download link to be listed here.

to test this out you can download the file here

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=182983

but it would be nice if you posted your results here

my norton 2004 pro found 591 infected files , and fixed 300 of those files automatically , the rest (291) had to be either wiped or quartined

623 files scanned
8 auto-cleaned before scan
429 infected
1 ad ware program found
266 auto-cleaned

McAfee VS Pro v8

I backed up my compy before I did this test and scanned the zip file. after scanning memory it scanned the file but it don't tell you what files inside the zip it's scanning like VS v7 used to. so when that ended it said 46 files scanned( 45 running apps + 1 zip file) 1 infected and next to the file in the window it tells you what viruses it has.
just out of curiosity i unzipped the file then the auto scanner went insane.
oh well, i feel better now. time to restore for safe measures.

587 w/ Trend Micro Internet security with full updates.

I think this is a better test site for antivirus and firewalls like Sonicwall

I just installed McAfee VS 8 Enterprise Edition BETA and it won't let me DL the zip file, lol.

Scott

ah dang, i have to apply?!?!? any got a direct download link ?

SAV 9 only found 590. What 3 did I miss? My defs are 7/28

My NOD32 antiviruis detected before my download was finished ( 7 secs remaining), it had a option to terminate the connection, I clicked on that and the in MSN explorer download manger it was saying retrying.lol the best antivirus is that dont even allow u to download the file.

NAV Corp 9.0.0.388
Scan Engine : 1.2.0.13
Virusdef : 29.07.2004

Found : 589 after cleaning

I can't thank you enough for posting this. I use NOD 32 and it found nothing. I had to configure it to scan archives and then it found 584 files. I was running it all this time thinking it was scanning everything!! Now I feel better!

lol dont ur check the default settings when u first install ?

It sounds ridiculous, I know, but I know that NOD32 is one of the best around, and I just left it on it's default scanning options. It picks up email viruses no problem, and it noticed this archive when I tried to extract it to a folder, so lesson learned. No harm done, in any case.

Eh, NOD32 one of the best? I thought so too, but what the hell does this mean? Take a look




EDIT: I had a virus in the memory too, as you can see, but NOD32 (latest v.) couldn't delete that either

_________________

This is an older update and I don't see how if NOD32 was running properly how this virus can not either be deleted or quarantined for deletion.

You also might not have it configured to scan archives and all files or else it should have picked up 584 files as infected after the context scan.

Im using NortonSystemWorks 2k3
will try when I get home.

Please stop. Read the topic title/description what the hell

I don't think I should try this on my girlfriend PC.

Its already fucked.

Very good thread though. Glad the mods let it stay. Not sure what they meant about being illegal though.

Now everyone that downloaded the zip file , listen up!
I want you to go into the bathroom , barefoot , unscrew the light socket and hold on to one of the wires , don't attempt to hold both wires.
Warning don't attempt this if you are a scaredy cat or n00b.

I think my AV found 587 viruses - I'm running PC-Cillin '02

HOLY SHIT!!
over 19000 Nineteen Thousand Netsky Viruses found on my COmp. !!!
and thats without downloading that zip file
its all clean now though.
Scanning entire system for the 3rd time just to make sure

w000000w, 13.000 damm that your SO (presume windows??) was still running?? didn\t your isp told you by email you were infected by a virus??

mine isp (@HOME (europe, benelux) will sen dme this mail, then temp disables my account so I cant' send more mails as long as i am infected and then i have to make a phone call to say "i'm clean" please re-enable it...

592 viruses found with AVG Antivirus Free Edition

I can't believe AVG Antivirus Free Edition is in second place and beat so many others, lol

Thanks Captain Obvious.
