Academic malware
July 20, 2008
This is the kind of thing that you’d probably only be aware of if you work in the anti-virus software business. Anyway, turns out there’s a group in Europe that has created a test virus. It’s useful for checking whether your A/V software is installed correctly. Also useful if, like me, you need to run a demo that shows a piece of malware being quarantined.
