It's already been done, take a look at the eicar test file. You can try renaming the extension then uploading it.

i try it but when i test it it give me the mime file invalied ??? – Mohammad AL-Rawabdeh Oct 13 '10 at 14:44
That's a good sign. Your upload script can detect when people simply change file extensions by looking at the MIME type. – John T Oct 13 '10 at 15:08
