The ethical dilemma would be proving it works outside of the lab; to
people and on computers outside the company.  Real proof requires
malware.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to 'smoke test' new builds, and to
ethically and fully demonstrate >(to the CEO, to outsiders) that the
protection works.  We're in alpha test, and beta is approaching fast.

What ethical dilemmas would come up from making sure your av is working
correctly?
