The EICAR group came up with a harmless file detected by
antivirus products so you can safely verify the product's
working. If you haven't seen Windows Defender detect
something, visit
http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm , download
the 68 byte file eicar.com.txt, and copy it to your startup
folder. Your AV solution (that you should be running in
addition to Windows Defender) will also pick it up." -=-

Hello\,

Does anyone know of a non-destructive, safe worm - one
that doesn't do anything but propagate and is easy to
remove - that I can use for testing in small networks?

Thanks!

Good response: Eicar is completely safe and won't cause any harm. It's old
but it at least shows that the signature it uses gets caught by
security-ware.
