There's a few dozen websites at least that will send you an email with the EICAR
file already built in.

Much easier than downloading it and emailing it to yourself.

This page will do the email trick, and also has the signature itself in the
middle of the text of the page, I tested the email feature and it is currently
working:

However lots of them are broken atm:


info-techs is broken, seems to generate emails with empty (0 byte) attachments,
which obviously are not detected.

GFI seems to have stopped working, as it errors on submit:
