pwla-ga,

Here's a pretty good list of major (not all) malware:

I cannot provide the entire list of tens of thousands of viruses here.

But I can certainly show you how to access the information yourself,
so you can extract your own list.


Let me know if that's of interest to you as an answer to your question.

Cheers,

If you can provide me the location/link(s) where I can easily copy and
paste all spyware, adware, keystroke
loggers, dialers, and computer viruses into several lists,
this would constitute a proper answer to my question.

I am looking for a COMPLETE list of ALL spyware, adware, keystroke
loggers, dialers, and computer viruses.

Thanks!

PWLA,

Please take a look at the McAfee - Virus Information Library.
http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.asp

More than 150,000 threats exist today.  In addition to genuine
viruses, the Virus Information Library contains useful information on
virus hoaxes, those dire email warnings about disk-eating attachments
that sometimes land in your inbox."

They provide the lists in alphabetical order.

I am interested in having a formated list of each spyware, adware, keystroke
loggers, dialers, and computer viruses delievered in several text documents.

In this format:
Text Document labeled: Spyware, Adware, & Malware
one spyware name per line down the page, one column.

Text Document labeled: Keystroke loggers

Text Document labeled: Dialers

Text Document labeled: Computer Viruses

If you can do this, I will give you an additional $50 through this
system or through paypal.

Thanks very much!

Dear PWLA,

Unfortunatley I canīt can't copy and paste all information into text
documents. Please understand that there are thousands of them and it
would take too much time and would not justify the extra  fee you are
offering.

You said in your clarification:

"If you can provide me the location/link(s) where I can easily copy and
paste all spyware, adware, keystroke loggers, dialers, and computer
viruses into several lists, this would constitute a proper answer to
my question."

I provided the lists for you. I just wanted to confirm that the lists
would meet your needs. It appears that they did.

I would like to post the links to all the virus sources as the
official answer to your question.  Would you need anything else before
I do so?

Sincerely, 
Bobbie7

Okay Bobbie7,

To add this this, I believe Symantec Antivirus checks for over 70000 viruses.

pwla-ga,
you should be aware that:
1. malware names are given by antivirus vendors, so the same virus has many names
2. few thousand of new mutations appear every day, so such list has no sense...
