How to check the requirement "IAttachmentExecute interface"?
I'm sorry to bother you, but please let me know.
This package is very nice. And it's working fine. (WindowsDefender)
However, I was curious about the "Any anti virus application which supported IAttachmentExecute API.
If I use an anti-virus software other than Windows Defender, how should I check this? Contact the manufacturer? Verify that it actually works? Any other way?
I did some research and didn't find a very good answer. If you know anything about it, please let me know.
Unfortunately, I just wrapped the "IAttachmentExecute" so I do not understand inside of the implementation of the "IAttachmentExecute" deeply.
I saw the way to scan viruses using "IAttachmentExecute" on the source code of the Firefox Web Browser many years ago.
I think, if we should check that it would be working fine even if an anti-virus software other than Windows Defender, we may do it by scanning the "eicar" file.
- Install any anti-virus software (trial version of that is also OK) other than Windows Defender.
- Disable all anti-virus software.
- Scan the "eicar" file, and verify that it can not detect "eicar" as a virus. (or verify that will happen something error)
- Enable the anti-virus software that is not Windows Defender, and re-check it.
