I tried downloading all the 8 files from : http://eicar.org/85-0-Download.html
- Avast blocked all the 4 files available on http
- Apart from the file 'eicar.com' ; I was able to download the other 3 files available on https.
- Avast blocked my attempt at manual execution of the two zipped .exe's
- I was able to open the downloaded .txt file (in Notepad++)
- I deleted all downloaded files without a fuss.
- It's still Tuesday the 15th on this end of the world.
                  ~END~

Or did I just not RTFM? (It's quite huuge for my slow afternoon)
