  • 1.  Anyone have a list of infected sites?

    Posted Dec 11, 2009 11:28 AM
    Does anyone have a list of sites infected with rogue viruses or spyware like Windows Antivirus Pro?  Or better yet a site or sites that maintains a list of such sites?  I want to use them to test the effectiveness of various SEP settings.

    All those sites are great, but let me clarify for what I am looking.  Most of the viruses/malware that I have seen in the last 6 months has come from a user going to a site and a pop-up comes up and says that their computer is infected, click here to download antivirus software.  Of course, this is spyware/malware in itself.  What I am looking for is a list of sites that have this infection so that when I go to one of those sites, that malware will pop-up.

    I looked around on:
    http://www.viruslist.com
    http://eicar.org
    http://www.virustotal.com
    and could not find such a list.

    Does anyone have such a list or have a full URL to such a list?

    What you are looking for would be a list numbering in the 10's of thousands of URL's, or more. Even if you had the list, it is a moving target. New infected domains are always showing up, to to maintain the list would be impossible for one administrator.

    I use Safeweb and Exploit Scan to check URLs that I suspect are dangerous.

    Best,

     Totally agree with Thomas, but since you are asking I found one that might be of some help: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm . Since you said you are planning on using this list to test against SEP please do it on a computer that is not connected to your network, and please re-image it prior to re-connecting it.

    As Thomas told I don't think you can stop all the urls.You have to think of some other way to stop this
    Below docs can help you in this
    Using Application and Device Control to stop registry entries added by a threat or risk
    Common loading points for viruses, worms, and Trojan horse programs on Windows 2000/XP/2003

    For preventing computers from the threat educating the user is also an important thing...

    When I give training on how to avoid these types of scams, I usually use a URL from http://www.malwaredomains.com/ to show people, though I always check the link out beforehand, just in case its got porn or something a little too scary on it.

    WARNING:
    Be careful what you wish for and what you do with those URLs.  Some of them might contain even more then just malware that could get you into trouble.
