Hello,

My scan reports say below file got infected, but I rescanned this file via other AV which results in positive.

Can anyone tell us is this alert is genuine?

It looks like the file is infected with the EICAR test file, which is just a harmless test file designed to prove an AV is working.

Of course, it could be a virus that contains the EICAR file to hide itself, but if you have scanned it with another AV that found nothing, it may be okay.

Let me suggest that you scan the file on Virus Total, where it will be scanned with 50+ AVs. including the Clam AV scan engine used by ClamWin. If only Clam AV detects it, then whitelist the file in ClamWin so it will not be detected in the future.

I like to see at least 2 of these AVs on Virus Total detect something before I believe it is infected: Avira, Bitdefender, Eset Nod 32, Kaspersky, or Sophos.

Thanks for using ClamWin!

Regards,
