Virus, Worms, Trojans & Malwares Downloads

[Tamblot]

I suppose this fits more likely here in Networking & Internet than in Softwares & Games.

If we search the web regarding virus, worms, trojans and malwares, mostly we get the cure (ANTI-xxxxx).

Do you know a site where we can download a sample of these viruses?

If you have an anomalous file sample available then maybe you can share it here. Maybe those that are considered hot.

The purpose of this topic is to further push the knowledge and improve our skills in combating these problem by not just simply downloading AV updates but by playing around with these anomalous files and experiencing its impact in a controlled environment. :mrgreen:

I hope this wont violate a rule here.

Let me start with a website for testing your anti-virus softwares.

This will determine if your AV software is performing its job.
