Short of blacklisting the www.virtualrouterplus.com site, no rep site scanner will detect the download link at the source site since the it is being redirected through multiple servers; one in mainland China. Sucuri scan for this web site comes back 100% clean.

What will detect the malware is ZULU since it will download the software, submit it to VT, and perform additional analysis to determine its status. Of course, one has to manually submit the actual download URL to ZULU for scanning. A minor inconvience to assure one's PC safety. Also the AV download analyzer must correctly id the URL address from where the software was actually downloaded from. It is that URL that has to be submitted to ZULU. In this case, NIS 2013 Insight recorded the actual download URL, "http://downloadcdn.betterinstaller.com/installers/b/9/VirtualRouterPlusSetup_downloader_by_VirtualRouterPlusSetup.exe". Just copy it and paste into ZULU for analysis.

In reality what is at issue here is the AV download analyzer, not the web filter capability.
