Me and my boss at work spent about two hours the other day trying to infect a virtual machine with no AV, minimal updates, and running Win7. After running through plenty of random torrents with cracks for games not released yet, doing everything from IE8, with all security settings set on their lowest, clicking every link that said Download! and installing plenty of free cursors, smileys, and silly games, we were left with a bogged down machine, but no viruses.
Specifically we were hoping to pick up some of the scarewares, or perhaps the TDSS variants, or the ZeroAccess rootkit, but instead we just got a lot of crapware that could've been removed from Add/Remove Programs.
Does anyone have a nice collection of virus droppers I can utilize to teach techs basic virus removal on a virtual machine? Because even when I try, I can't seem to pick one up
