Hopefully this is just a bug as the eicar test file isn't really a "win" test; it's just a text file. I imagine many people will have scripts and test routines set up which expect the name "Eicar-Test-Signature" - I know I do!
Is there any way this can be changed back or does everyone have to update their test cases?
