.zip / .exe passed scans on virustotal and joti:

Virustotal is a great service to see if something has been accidentally infected. But if you wanted to send someone malware, you'd be really stupid to send something that Virustotal finds, since just about everybody checks that. So for that purpose it is useless.

You probably knew that, but I'm just putting it out there for the newbies. Just in case anyone thinks Virustotal can detect malware universally (it can't; it just checks against a list of known ones).
