Well, there is "comp.virus", which is obviously more suitable - but requests
for viruses are specifically NOT allowed there.

>As the header says, I want some more viruses

Oh, boy...you sure asked for trouble now...  :-)

I have a virus collection - a very large one - over 1700 different
PC viruses.  I get requests like this one regularly, and usually I
refuse to send any viruses out.  Asking for a written request, signed by the
head of the company or the university department of the person in question
is the first step.  I almost never hear from anyone again after stating this
condition.

The second condition is a "need to have" - just being a collector is not
sufficient.

The third condition is a "OK" from the other members of CARO.

Finally, I refuse to keep it confidential if I send viruses to anyone - if
they don't want the rest of the world to know they are receiving viruses,
they have no business getting them.

Only if those conditions are met, will I consider sending out viruses, and
in your case I will not. Sorry.
