clamd's Issues

Antivirus removed eicar.txt after clone

I cloned the repo in Windows 10 with Defender active, which removed the file eicar.txt automatically.

I think modifying the file, such as rot13 or base64 encode, can hide the test file from AVs. If this the appropriate action, I would like to send a PR with updated testing code.
