[QUOTE="436880927, post: 826345"] I assume you're referring to how they are doing it in their driver ? Flagging EICAR is normal behavior for AVs - it's a test file that is supposed to be flagged so consumers can verify that protection is functioning as intended. However, I agree that what they are doing is silly. It's inefficient and lazy. The sensible thing to do would be to just include it with any other generic signatures being used and mark it with its detection name, assuming Zemana do have other generic signatures. Furthermore, it would be wise to handle data parsing tasks for the scanning operation in user-mode for security reasons because the data being scanned is non-trusted since it comes from unknown sources; if the EICAR check comes back as false then the driver will communicate with a user-mode service which is connected to the mini-filter via FltSendMessage.
