Does the EICAR antivirus test work on antivirus scanners for Linux? The EICAR test is described in more detail here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file
The reason I ask is that it requests the EICAR file to be a .COM file, which is specific to Microsoft as far as I am aware. Should Linux antivirus software still pick this up though since it is a standardized test?
