Antivirus writers have agreed for their software to recognize a standard "fake" virus file - the EICAR file, to let users check that the software is up and running. Are there any equivalent test sites for trying out McAfee SiteAdvisor, Kaspersky URL Advisor, Norton Safe Web, Google Safe Browsing, and others? Or can anyone share any running sites, which they use to test out whether their reputation services are working?

Unfortunately Google Safe Browsing doesn't recognize "malware.wicar.org" of http://wicar.org/ as a malicious test site. Instead you can use http://www.ianfette.org/ which is, I guess, the Google Safe Browsing test site. Just in case you are wondering, Ian Fette is a software engineer at Google.
