Hello friends, I am wondering that the websites like

Code:
hxxp://malc0de.com/database/

and
Code:
hxxp://www.malwaredomainlist.com/mdl.php
contain really malware samples?

I used to download some exe's from their sites and test/play with my AV :D

I use KIS 2012 and just came around a typical sample..

The jotti scan with that sample confirmed it as a malware even by KIS, but it isn't detected in my system and KIS says its a clean file... :huh:

Jotto scan results

VNC (ultra VNC and other VNC ) are remote control apps that MAY be used in bad ways...but they are not malwares themselves.

It depends cause if the application was performing a suspicious behavior like the malicious one then a pop up will come.

umbrapolaris is quite correct, the file itself is not malicious, it is how it is used that can be!

VNC was used in my school but i managed to get the password (i challenged my teacher that i could have his password) so it becomes a malware in my hand since i can access any computers in the network and do everything i wanted.

VNC was modified to be able to run in a invisible mode (no tray icon,etc...) but i forgot the name, it was a well-known trojan alongside subseven.
