WICAR.org - Test Your Anti-Malware Solution!
Each test will open up a new browser window at http: //www. wicar. org/test-malware. html. You may wish to try each test systematically. Ideally, all tests should be blocked by your anti-malware defenses. If a blank window loads, then it likely was not detected/prevented.

Seems, I get blank windows...for all tests except EICAR anti-virus test file.

Why all the blank windows w/wo SSL Test Payloads.

If a blank window loads, then exploit was likely was not detected/prevented.

I was expecting successful "block" events where Webroot has detected and blocked sample exploits.

Are Wicar.org test-malware with no successful "block" events anything to be concerned about?

Thanks

answering my message #24
Webroot Support advised that Webroot blocks the test-malware domain, not the tests.

The core domain that launches the additional tab is successfully blocked and classified.
WSA is not an anti-exploit type tool, and as such provides blocking tech in the form of the BrightCloud reputation service. Webroot Support

My habit is to second opinion thru VirusTotal and WSA on-demand scan.
I recently had two samples that were [U] not immediately known classified by WSA.
Both samples were not immediately classified on download nor classified with on-demand scan.

Both samples were well known detected thru VirusTotal.
Within a few minutes both downloaded executable samples were known detected thru WSA.
