Zeeball says:

This is cool package made especially for testing of antivirus software. The main idea is to torture antivirus and libraries/programs it uses for virus detection, file decompression and archive extraction... I have to say that dumb people should better keep away of that package. And please not mail me about viruses in this package. Oki? It is signed with Dirk's PGP pubkey.

Dirk says:

Like the EICAR test-files for Microsoft operating systems, these files can help to test the Amiga antivirus software. They will not infect your system, but can be very useful to test the software you use for virus- checking. If your software cannot detect the included files as infected, then either contact the author to fix the software or change to another product (Though getting newest version first is sometimes recommended .

This package has to be signed with my PGP key! Do not trust the files if the keysign is missing! There may be people outside, which try to do fake real-infected files. My PGP key can be found in the VirusZ archives, on my web-pages and nearly every international keyserver.
