Default Worm for Testing Purposes?

....or just copy this

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

and paste it into notepad and save it as a batfile or comfile if your AV
doesn't alert on it when saved as a textfile.

....or see attached if it comes through.

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
