Where can I download a virus, work, trojan, etc. for analysis? Yes, I'm actually hunting for malware, rather than keeping it at bay and hiding behind antivirus software and firewalls. I plan to analyze it in a lab for a project, but don't know where to even begin finding one.

I ended up finding my way over to VX Heavens, where they have a massive collection of virus broken down in to various categories (Backdoors, DoS, Worms, Hoaxes, Trojans, the works). Great if you need to analyze actual malicious code in a "dead" state (as much fun as surfing to a bunch of sketchy sites is and sorting through the mess later).

Then install LimeWire. Search for songs or music. Download as many as you can. Sort them out as real music files and .exe files pretending to be music files (often hidden in archives). Now run them all.

Doing the above will most certainly trash the machine. Also you probably will have limited insight as to what actually caused the most damage. You will most surely have various viruses and malware present, but finding and identifying them will be a challenge in and of itself, not to mention dissecting the programs.

Very funny how people can get viruses without even trying and then when you want one... its pretty much impossible to find one. I have a bunch saved to a thumb drive to mess around with later and a bunch in the "virus vault" in my antivirus software. A good place to start would be to check the virus vaults in the antivirus software for all the computers you have access to. You can then restore the virus to wherever you want.

Honestly? Start googling for free antivirus software. You are guaranteed to find something on that list, especially if its something you've never heard of. Web pages that scream you are infected! in red capital letters ten feet high (okay, maybe not that urgent) are dead give-aways that you've found badware for the taking.

A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:

A trojan-downloader is a type of trojan that installs itself to the system and waits until an Internet connection becomes available to connect to a remote server or website in order to download additional programs (usually malware) onto the infected computer.

Trojan-downloaders are also commonly distributed as disguised file attached to spam emails. The attached programs are typically labelled using legitimate-sounding program or document names, such as 'invoice' or 'accounts.exe', as a simple form of social engineering. If the file attachment is opened, the trojan-downloader is installed.

Once a trojan-downloader has been installed on a machine, it will try to contact to a remove server or website, where it can either directly fetch additional files for download, or find further instructions from the attackers on where to find the files.

We are starting to focus more energy on our business support and we found this software that automates certain aspects of computer repair. It would be great if some of the less technical staff can start repairs on our residential customer computers if I am out of the office.

Typically when I test out AV software, I look for the free downloads of music and software, coupons and so forth and I download everything and anything and install it. Over a couple of days the machine becomes infested with adware, malware and eventually a virus of sorts.

I also go into my spam filter and look for blocked emails, I will release them and then click all the links that are in them and install what ever is attached or downloaded as a result of the web link.

This is a great question. I was wondering how to do some personal testing and research on various pieces of malware. Great info provided so far. I am going to look into this for some sandboxing of my own.

Can I please get some assistance on how to add You Tube Downloader to what might be called a Whitelist. I know that the unsubscribed version has adware but I have a 2 more years that I payed for in advance with them and the subscription removes the adware. YTD downloader is one of the most trusted youtube downloader utilities since forever. I understand why your program is causing it to delete it the moment I run the.exe but I do need a hand, since I'm new to the Malwarebytes family of software. I have a current subscription with your total internet secruity and I purchased your VPN software as well because Total internet secruity only gives you 200megabytes which is just about 3 minutes of rabbit trailing while doing research. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience, I count on YTD downloader for my Power Point presentations and research. Thank you
