A virus is a program as any other. Most of the existing viruses do not do anything noticeable. Indeed, some viruses have interesting video and sound effects. If -that- is what you want to -see-, then you can get a set of programs that demonstrate the effects of different viruses. It is available for anonymous ftp from our site: ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de:/pub/virus/progs/virsim1.zip Or do you mean that you want to observe the process of the virus infecting files and disks? Again, no need to use a real virus, there is an excellent program that demonstrates how a virus infection spreads in a simulated computer environment. In fact, you will "see" much more than with a real infection, because the program has very good logging facilities. It is also available for anonymous ftp: ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de:/pub/virus/progs/virlab15.zip I have yet to be convinced that there are cases when real viral code has to be provided to non-experienced users...
