I don't think so. Having this "Windows 7 OEM Activator" is reprehensible. The intentions on the site are possibly ok, but hosting a site just to put a virtual hard drive from 4shared on? Come on. It might be a resource to a malware tester, like me or somebody else, but hosting it for the public is indeed not tolerated. Look to the real side, no one knows it is a good site, and it has bad downloads on it. Thus making me give it a YELLOW rating. The Windows 7 activator stuff is completely and totally out of line.

If "Joe" wants to host these files for "testing" , let him do it off his own web space and at his own bandwidth expense...

I'm not being rude or anything, but it just doesn't make any sense.

Roguedb.tk has got a red rating.
offensivecomputing.net has got a green rating.

They are both affiliated with malware testing, but Roguedb.tk has got a red rating while offensivecomputing.net has got a green rating. They both have malicious samples for testing. So if you are gonna rate roguedb.tk down, why not rate offensivecomputing.net down aswell?

It was yellow because of my first rating. I then, re-rated it red after it tested positive for a distributor of Virut, an operating system murderer. Now I know the intentions are indeed foul. Ain't no way someone wants to test Virut. The site looks a bright red-orange to me. lol

Rated red for Malicious Content:

Ok. I research malware for nothing? I have seen databases that have been encrypted, which means you need a username and password, and one encryption key just to get in to the database of malware. Why? Because, the way the site is set up, leads me to believe there is a malware writer who is using this bad site, to have malware communicate to and work as a trojan downloader.
Trojan downloaders get installed to computers, and then attempt to connect to the site(s) in question to download more malware. If the malware writer is not smart enough (most aren't anyway), then he/she will need a site that can allow downloads to be launched without the need of an account. Most writers think it is too hard to set up malware to be able to log in to an account and download.

Now, XP Guard...what makes you so defensive of the site? Are you the owner of it? Do you have some kind of affiliate's pass in to this illegal game? Distributing Virut is completely reprehensible, and I cannot believe someone would stoop to that level to actually place that download on that site. Give me a break? It's not like I cook muffins in my spare time, I study malware. One of the most frightening and hard-to-remove infections is Virut. Most of the time, Virut cannot be removed completely. So it is called a murderer. What kind of malware is that? Serial killer malware. One of the first forms of it.

The bad news, is that Roguedb.tk has been parked.

The goods news, is that RogueWatch's 4shared page is still active. Thank god for that.
