Fortigate 60E - Configuring Antivirus - EICAR file test don't blocked

Hi!

I'm configuring the antivirus for first time in the Fortios 5.4.6. I follow this cookbook:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/5.4.0/cookbook/350705/inspecting-traffic-content-using-...

But when i test the configuration with the EICAR file test it don't block the download.

Here my screenshots of police:

Thank you everybody!

Same here.  I just purchased license for AV, and the GUI confirms I am licensed.  Yet, applying the AV profile as above, when I go to the eicar site, I am allowed to download anything there.  And the stats show:

 

gateway # diagnose ips av stats show AV stats: HTTP virus detected: 0 HTTP virus blocked: 0 SMTP virus detected: 0 SMTP virus blocked: 0 POP3 virus detected: 0 POP3 virus blocked: 0 IMAP virus detected: 0 IMAP virus blocked: 0 NNTP virus detected: 0 NNTP virus blocked: 0 FTP virus detected: 0 FTP virus blocked: 0 SMB virus detected: 0 SMB virus blocked: 0

Looking at that command makes me wonder: do I need IPS turned on for this?  The docs are extremely detailed about some things, but don't mention some pretty basic nuts and bolts.

Hi,

 

did you use this page? https://www.eicar.org/?page_id=3950 If so the download is via https only. In order to block the AV threat, you must have SSL deep inspection enabled. Jirka

Well, I'm stupid.  I hadn't really noticed the eicar site specifically disallows http, only allowing https, so of course fortinet can't find it.  I did find this: http://malware.wicar.org/data/eicar.com.  I copied the URL to the clipboard, and tried to access it using lynx, in a shell window, and:

High Security Alert    You are not permitted to download the file "eicar.com" because it is    infected with the virus "EICAR_TEST_FILE".    URL                   [link]http://malware.wicar.org/data/eicar.com[/link]    Quarantined File Name    Reference URL         [link]http://www.fortinet.com/ve?vn=EICAR_TEST_FILE[/link]

and printing av stats:

 

gateway # diagnose ips av stats show AV stats: HTTP virus detected: 1 HTTP virus blocked: 1 SMTP virus detected: 0 SMTP virus blocked: 0 POP3 virus detected: 0 POP3 virus blocked: 0 IMAP virus detected: 0 IMAP virus blocked: 0 NNTP virus detected: 0 NNTP virus blocked: 0 FTP virus detected: 0 FTP virus blocked: 0 SMB virus detected: 0 SMB virus blocked: 0

 

so, that's a big 'never mind folks' :)

Thanks guy!

I'm newbie in the fortigate configurations.

In the ssl inspection profiles there are a deep-inspection profile.

But it doesn't show when I open the list in the Edit policy page.

I should enable it per cli?
