Default Worm for Testing Purposes?

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
