I just tried the "front-page" link myself, and wound up at Confixx too -- after warnings about a probably-invalid site certificate.

Yeah i also got that certificat crap. Looks like i'll have to host EICAR by myself on Sec-Ops...

Ok,my page is updated and is now hosting all 4 samples.
They have .EXE extension due to compatibility issues with my HTTP server/host.

Just double-click refresh button to refresh page content.
