Template: clamav-getfiles/download-eicar-com
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Do you want to download eicar.com from the Internet?
To verify the integrity of the downloaded databases, clamav-getfiles uses
clamav-testfiles. It can additionally use the Eicar Anti-Virus Test File,
which unfortunately has a non-free license and cannot thus be in Debian
proper.
.
The clean way to solve this would be a Debian package eicar-testfile which
downloads the real Eicar Anti-Virus Test File from the Internet on
installation. Such a package has been prepared and uploaded, but it was
rejected by the Debian ftp-masters in June 2003. See the RFP/ITP bug
#198311.
.
Since Debian officially declined to have the Eicar Anti-Virus Test File in
a single location, packages needing that file need to replicate the work
locally.
.
Please choose if you want to download the non-free Eicar Anti-Virus Test
File from the Internet to improve the integrity test of the downloaded
clamav databases.
