Onderwerp: Antivirus/Trojan/Spyware scanners DoS!

Hello All,

Norton CE found five instances of the Eicar_test_file in roughly 8
seconds. It quarantined the .zip file.





Hello,

Here is what I have from TrendMicro IWSS v1

A virus (Compressed_Huge_File, Eicar_test_file, Eicar_test_file,
Eicar_test_file, Eicar_test_file, Eicar_test_file, Eicar_test_file) was
detected in file SERVER_dwn.zip in http traffic on 6/15/04 3:10:06 PM
with action deleted taken.

CPU on the server was between 80% and 90% for about
1.5 hours.

SAV Corp 9.0 found six instances of eicar_test in 28 seconds of total
runtime on a test file server of no exceptional speed.

No real performance hit there.

Hello everybody,



I doubt how many Antivirus/Trojan/Spyware scanners will choak to death while
having a "manual scan" of this file. Please go ahead and give it a try.

I was woundering, what would be the results if such file gets stucked in an
"AV gateway" (O;



please, report your findings..... I have already been bombarded with strange
reports.
