I don't know what could unless they added the url link in the database. The only way you'll get the test virus is by clicking on one of the links.

No you are right Avast stopped the Download not opening the page

@Bell1: most modern AV programs simply use IMON to intercept all packets at the winsock layer
downloading the .com will trigger avast or nod32, but downloading the zip will not.
you can DL the zip version, then open it. NOD32 will not let me even open the zip, but it lets me DL it

I know how an antivirus works, but I quote his post where he states that it wouldn't let him connect to the page and that link in the quote is NOT a test virus and doesn't contain one.

I seem to remember c0ldfyr3 saying that he had a few DVDs of nothing but viruses though. But it makes me feel special that you wanted to prove Jojo wrong and say that I did something first

But as far as this thread is concerned, I knew God had a purpose for me seeing THIS on TV this morning...

Edit: that link isnt to a site that puts a virus on your comp, its safe to click multiple times

The link to G4?????/
