You are correct! I have amended the original post to reflect that.

Thanks for pointing it out.

actually lifehacker created no such thing - they simply wrote about an existing way to test if your anti-virus product is working… the eicar standard anti-virus test file is quite old and was created by people working on behalf of the european institute for computer anti-virus research…

Comment on One more time: Computer names and Workgroup names by Ara

Sure.

Just remember that the only computers that can “see” each other on the network are the ones that share the same workgroup name.

For example, if you have 10 computers on the network and 8 share one workgroup name and the other 2 share another workgroup name, the computers in the first workgroup will not “see” the computers in the second workgroup (and vice versa).
