Do the malware database website samples really contain malware?

Hello friends, I am wondering that the websites like ~Links removed~

contain really malware samples?

I used to download some exe's from their sites and test/play with my AV I use KIS 2012 and just came around a typical sample..

The VT 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...

 

Those malware database sites don't contain the malware themselves. The lists they generate are of URLs where malware supposedly is active. Problem is within a few hours some of those URLs disappear either because the sites get hosed or the authors move them to somewhere else in order to try avoid detection.

 

If you click on the links that's on any of those websites you will encounter malware, yes.

 

KIS didn't detect it, because it's not perfect, as are all blacklisting solutions.

 

As I have said earlier, Kaspersky detected it during a VT or jotti scan, but not when I downloaded the sample to my desktop. weird experience.

 

which version of kaspersky are you running and have you ticked all detection categories in options?
