Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and what I really need is for someone to send me a link to some sample malware files (especially very recent ones) so that I can do testing on all the AV Software Packages out there for a school project over at NJIT. Please get back to me asap if you can help me out if would be greatly appreciated

Just obtaining virus samples is usually a risking deal. But, in the past, I've always used the eicar test file and all 9 scanners I've tested are able to detect it.

Also, 'PC Security Test' is available from CNet.

It tests your anti-virus and firewall, using known virus test files.
