Just curious. If I wanted to send an infected file to someone, how do I do it? Where can I get it? Just curious.

Viruses are often sent (intentionally or not) via an attachment in an e-mail. This could come in a variety of file formats ... even an attached JPEG (photo) could spread viruses. Other formats include macros in Word or Excel documents as well as the obvious attched executable file (ends with .exe) in the case of a program.
The virus is activated once the recipient double-clicks the attachment to open it.

Tell them to set up a temporary e-mail account somewhere that doesn't automatically filter out virus files, and then e-mail it to there (your own side might filter it as well, you might need to do the same to send it).
Sending the source code would almost guarantee that it gets through.

U cant send infected files through webmails(yahoo,hotmail) since they have state of the art scanners....have ability to idntify most of the viruses/trojans....even if u use outlook express to send such files,the scanner on the recieving side will surely stop it...
I guess u can search on net for it...or there was software for making viruses...i dont remember its name exactly,i guess it was "virus factory" or something....u can try that too.

any virus I have got I have got through email or through an infected file from a messenger, like a picture or document ...
