It's not exactly a virus but it will trigger a virus alert in most AV
software.

Subject: Virus for testing purposes

Hi 
   
   Is there is any place online from where i can download collection of
viruses especially latest ones for testing purposes or there is any
software available that create fake viruses or something like that. I
read about certain newsgroups, where if you place your email address
they send you viruses, but i want to 
be able to download them. Since yahoo gmail etc block viruses and doesnt
allows to download them.
   
   
  Thank You
