eset wont detect Eicar inside zip file

Hello, we examine the product and testing it by copying Zip file from usb dok containing EICAR.
Eset detects EICAR only after the zip file is being extracted.

Is it known and how to prevent it ?

Eset file security 4.5.12005.0 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

Thank you,
reloop

 

Archives are not scanned by real-time file system protection. Files in archives do not pose any risk until extracted at which point they are scanned and malicious files are blocked / cleaned.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.
Can I change this ?

 

Hello,
Is there any way to enable it in the real-time file system protection ?

Thanks

 

No, real-time protection cannot scan inside archives in principle.

 

thank you

 

Hello,

I use pac to scan ftp. flat files are detected but not in archives. I set the option av_scan_obj_archives to yes but noting. Is pac cannot scan inside archives ? just to be sure because i see options in libesets_pac.so man and esets.cfg

I did the same test, with eicar.
esets_daemon[7612]: part[1dbc0203]: vdb=13160, agent=pac, name="/home/eicar_com.zip » ZIP", virus="is OK (internal scanning not performed)", action="", info=""
