My father has a saying:
"Don't go looking for trouble, it will find you soon enough."
Unless you have a test environment that is off the web, please don't go opening up stange files...
Indeed. Looking at this again, you probably want to test using the eicar test file, http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm. It's a harmless text file that all AV software detecta as a virus. No I won't send it to you - my mail server probably wouldn't let it through! Tom.
