One interesting resource you should check out is the European Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research (EICAR). They are primarily focused on Europe, but have a lot of USA participation. Their Web Site is <a href="http://www.eicar.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eicar.org/</a> EICAR distributes a good AV test file which you can use to evaluate your efforts. It can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm</a>
