Public archive of computer viruses? Matthew X. Economou 04-17-2005

I am looking for a publicly-accessible archive of computer revises,
worms, Trojans, etc. Does such an archive exist? Would you feel
comfortable contributing samples to such an archive if someone else
were to host it?

Best wishes,
Matthew

Lots of the bigger virus companies already have databases of known virus
types. Try some of the following:
