Malware Infected Website

I tried to access the sample website that has been reported as malware contain website, however when I tried to access the said site, How come Sophos cannot detect that the website has malware and even downloading files are not blocked? I got a notification from my browser that the download content is not safe but you have the option to save the file,

you can try to access this address to test.

Fake website: It is using the name of Microsoft.

can you please include this site and any related url to be blocked under Live URL Filtering feature? thanks

  • After replying I have submitted the URL and also a sample from the site. About half an hour ago I received the reply with the analysis results.

    As of now the site is already blocked as High Risk. In addition I have received the following information:


    Thank you for contacting Sophos Technical Support.

    **Please note that this is an automated response. If you have any questions, require assistance or clarification on this analysis, please feel free to reply to this email quoting this case number in the subject line.**

    The file(s) submitted were malicious in nature and detection will be available on the Sophos Databank shortly.

    • firefox_5.0.1.exe -- identity created/updated (New detection Troj/FakeAV-EKQ)
    • 3.tmp -- identity created/updated (New detection Troj/FakeAV-EKQ)
    • 2.tmp -- identity created/updated (New detection Troj/FakeAV-EKS)
    • Security Protection.lnk -- non-malicious
    • defender.exe -- identity created/updated (New detection Troj/FakeAV-EKS)
    • Suspicious site.txt -- non-malicious
    • firefox_5.0.1.zip -- archive file

    The sample I've kept is also already detected as Troj/FakeAV-EKQ (note that 3.tmp, 2.tmp and defender.exe would have been created had I run the firefox_5.0.1.exe).

    So - whenever you encounter something suspicious please send in a sample.
