How to do AV Test(Antivirus test) with malware samples

1 replies
I want to write reviews about antivirus products. For that I need to test antivirus with malware samples. But I don't know where can I get malware samples. And how to do AV Test without having malware effect on our computer.
If any one has experience on this issue, please share.

    1) Create a Windows restore point - Google for guides
    2) Install several AV (they sometimes have conflict with each other, so maybe you'll have to do it one by one)
    3) Browse the web until your browser suggests you to install some strange stuff
    4) see what your AV does in the process and write your rewiew. If AV fails - load the restore point and continue.

    Or, a much easier way - Browse through FAQ sections of AV company sites. They have all sorts of reviews and guides, re-write them and you'll have what you need.
