I understand the reason for your request.  And, it's admirable that you want
to insightfully inform your user base.

However, looking for live virus or Trojans is not the way to do it.  If one
wants to show how things can go horribly wrong, controlled environment or
not, this is likely a good start.

What I'd suggest is to make use of the EICAR test string.  All AV programs
that I know of will respond to it, and will respond as if a real virus had
been detected.

IMHO, this is the safe a proper way to do virus and Trojan awareness
training for user and response team staffs.

Ok my apology, didn't realize it will be taken this way.

I am a network administrator, and we are planning a security awareness
campaigne, this demonestration will be a part of training for the
staff to see the secuirty risks they can be into when opening an
attachement that they don't know about or executing a file. ( I have
it now).

I had a nobel cause so I asked a nobel list thats all, no offense for the
list.
