It would also be an ugly way to show management that you forgot something, or 
that someone has an unprotected external email account, or that an 
alternative AV product which you tested has just allowed 300 machines to 
become infected, or that you've just discovered a neat way of encoding / 
encrypting a virus so that it does get through ClamAV after all.....

In other words, a highly risky and rather dangerous way of showing people 
something you could fake just as effectively if you want to impress 
non-technical management.   (If technical management, who can see through 
something like this, advocate testing a production system with live viruses, 
start looking for another job.)
