End of life: Trojan Simulator

Today, we removed Trojan Simulator from our servers. Trojan Simulator was written many years ago as a tool to test the effectiveness of malware scanners against trojan-type window executbles against a harmless trojan simulator file.
The reason for the removal of Trojan Simulator is that lately site classification tools have been reporting trojanhunter.com as being "infected" by Trojan Simulator, even though it in itself is a harmless application. The reason for this is of course that most anti-virus and anti-malware scanners detect Trojan Simulator.
This can cause users to become unduly alarmed if their "site quality" reporting tool incorrectly flags trojanhunter.com as being "infected with malware" because of the presence of the Trojan Simulator zip file.
The Trojan Simulator section of the forum will be open for a little while more and then closed and removed.
