      Test an unmodified virus scanner

      1) Visit https://www.eicar.org/?page_id=3950 and download the eicar test file.

      2) Visit /user/files.php and attempt the upload the eicar file.

      3) Verify that a message box appears with the message: 'eicar.com has been scanned by a virus checker and found to be infected!'. This confirms the default message is being displayed by scanners that do not implement the optional method, such as ClamAV

       

      Test a virus scanner that implements a custom message

      4) Install an encrypted content scanner for use in testing:

      git clone git@github.com:catalyst/moodle-antivirus_encrypted.git lib/antivirus/encrypted
      

      5) Visit /admin/index.php to perform the upgrade

      6) Visit /admin/settings.php?section=manageantiviruses and enable the encrypted content scanner.

      7) Download the attached doc file. It is a password protected libreoffice doc with the password 'password'.

      8) Go back to /user/files.php and attempt to upload the encrypted doc.

      9) Verify you receive a custom error message specific to this scanner:

      'Test doc enc.odt was unable to be inspected, due to encryption on the file.'

      It would be nice if antivirus engines had the ability to specify a custom message that would be displayed to the user upon returning a VIRUS_FOUND signature. This would be useful for plugins that leverage the Antivirus API, but are looking for other signatures, such as encrypted content. Real life example:
