Default Worm for Testing Purposes?

?ç?l,

Thanks. Indeed, that is a neat little item. I've used it. But it doesn't
attempt to travel from one machine to another on a network, which is what I
want to check.

dubya,

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!

Mike
