FYI it is not an un-common practice to use real-world virus samples in
a controlled test on a single pc or network. I'm sure other readers on
alt.comp.anti-virus (and possibly some of the other group moderators
other than yourself) can attest to that.

As moderator of at.comp.anti-virus I am aware that it is your duty to
responsibly mandate what belongs and what doesn't belong in this
usenet group and I apologize if I upset you in anyway. Before you
impose a ban on me let me reassure you I felt my question was a fair
one.
