Anyone have a functional copy of a virus lying around?

I need a virus to test something on McAfee during my trial peroid. Anyone have one they could host for me to download?

If you know of any websites that have virus' imbedded in them please tell me.

Thanks! 🙂

symantec used to have a test virus on their web site, it will set off their software, but not do anything bad to the PC

You know what's scarry? I once used eicar to test my email virus scanners. I changed the extension from .com to .txt and it sailed right through. (This particular virus scanner "claims" to be able to distinguish file types, even if the extension has been changed.)
