hey how did u get the malware? I would like to test a couple of my products

Type in Malware Domain List on google

Please, only do it in a virtual machine though.

It isn't safe at all, even in a virtual machine unless you really know what you are doing.

I am using a virtual machine. Can malware get thru the VM?

[Cudgelwap1]

Most malware will stay in the Virtual machine like it should. If the malware does a port scan it can see your host machine on the network and can transfer that way. If you have good antivirus protection and good firewall HIPS protection you should be able to block it from doing anything. Also if you have a router firewall enabled it will block much of that.

The Other thing malware can do is wipe your MBR. Hips can prevent that too. I do it on my host and have never run into issues though.

Thank u very much. I have gotten nasty malware but never got into my host machine. I got eset smart security 4.0 so I feel very safe.

[Cudgelwap1]

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't feel very safe with Eset smart security. It doesn't have a very good firewall and doesn't have HIPS. Therefore any unknown malware will just destroy your MBR and it won't be blocked.

[baseballboy64116]

What HIPS do u recommend?

I HATE ESET. It can't protect itself well. I had it and malware kept freezing it when it scanned some certain files/folders.
