Where can We find samples of contained viruses? We would like to use them to run test against different types of AV software to help us determin which types of software to use on different systems.

I'm not going to post sites to download virii, but I will tell you this one;)

If you to go www.eicar.com you can download test a test virus in many different forms and use it to test out the software. What this is is a test virus that will not harm your machine, but it does trigger your antivirus software and make it think that you have a virus.

Any questions, let me know;)
