Help!!! I need viruses on my computer!

[chet84]

Just a quick one, i'm testing various virus/malware scanners and I need to chock my laptop full of rubbish. I tried using the obvious course but not much luck! Any advice?

Don't? There are better ways of testing the effectiveness of anti-malware apps, and best of all there are several organisations who have already done it for you! Still, if you've had such a lack of success even whilst trying to get infected, perhaps the requirement for AV is over-rated after all?

Very true - but it's a project I have at work - real life scenarios!

search ots of dodgy adult material! you bound to get a few trojan downloader or dialer

Tried that - a lot harder then it sounds!

Thanks for all the help so far! Rainmaker has a very good point - what is a test virus? All the people that we have problems with have actual malware issues - whats to say that just because a virus scanner can remove a test virus, it can remove all the other issues?
