    Hi Dave,
    If you have some time why not just make one up on an isolated box (that is,
    that has no internet connection and no lan network connection - it should be
    the only computer within its network). This way your ensuring the best
    results. If undetected virii was what your looking for, thats probibly the
    most effective way to go :)

    Kind regards,

    Is your box REALLY secure?
