VirusSign haven't responded to my email. Is there another place I can get malware packs? I want to start testing security products for myself.

@Lucent Warrior states, it's kinda an unstated policy not to provide unknown users with malware download sources. It's nothing personal, it is just that it is difficult to gage a user's experience and knowledge. No member here with any kind of personal ethics wants to be connected in any way to someone playing with malware and then having their bank account wiped out.

VirusSign takes up to 2 weeks or more to respond to a new account access to malware request. They do not blindly grant access.
The malware samples might be old (meaning it is pointless to test them with an active signature-detection AV on a system because almost everything will get detected), but the classification range of samples is the best that I have seen.
VirusSign samples are great for testing HIPS, anti-executable, software restriction policy, virtualization, etc = everything but signature detection.
