Malware report
Most of them might be used to Sendspace.
I've had to play the "guess which download button is the real one" game with more than one file share service. I just ignore them if I can't guess.
But since I've downloaded a game from this dev before, I was not expecting a problem.
Also, I am not sure the big download button is reliable anyway. It kept giving me "download limit reached" errors even though it doesn't actually link to a downloadable file or installation.
Yet the smaller "download" button below it still worked in spite of the limit. A lot of those 1686 could just be people clicking the link.

Allow me to include the part where the file I downloaded did not actually have a game.
But it had the same name as the game?
Link and edchuy nailed it on the head with the fake download button theory.
There are NO blinking ads that I can see... but there are over 6 buttons that say "DOWNLOAD" and most of them generate malware files with the EXACT same name as the game. This is the problem. The fact that they had the same name.
I still find this worth reporting. But it is certainly avoidable. My PC is getting close to clean by now and it won't be a problem for me much longer.
I am 100% certain that the viruses I got were not present before I unzipped that file. 100%
In any case, I am glad you all responded with advice and information. Almost all helpful in some way.
Thank you all.

Created a TOS abuse report to Sendspace reporting either the uploader is using their site to spread viruses to downloaders or sendspace is exploiting the uploader and downloaders to spread its own viruses
I was not quite keen on giving them my email address but its too late now.
The game page has a youtube link as well... I'll be posting on that later.
I will make myself heard.
Over 17 entries of Win32downloader.gen popped up on spybot. Just an additional warning.
Malwarebytes is still scanning.

Where can I report malware in a zip file
Thank you for your reasonably fast reply.
I have taken your advice.

A link for anyone interested.
I won't bump this anymore myself.

Malware report
Re-locating my forum post according the advice of another user:
http://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/13411/
I recently downloaded a zip file (from a site linked to here)
edit:
This a navigation string that got me there.

http://udivision.blogspot.com/2010/06/download-page-super-mario-rpg-starlite.html
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gh3ezr
and instead of getting a game, there was no playable file, tons of fake virus scanners and a flood of installation programs unrelated to any game. And all personal anti-virus programs went insane on me.
edit: the viruses were not very covert and instantly started invading my screen.
The following programs detected them:
Mcafee : In real time (I kept allowing it because I just figured mcafee was misidentifying the game as a virus)
After the scanners started invading, I ran a scan with mcafee,and Spybot and they both found several dangerous items. A Malwarebytes scan is currently underway. (I hope it finds something so I can get a log... my mcafee will only log the number of threats... but not what they are.
I cleaned most of what spybot found except for this... because spybot can't get rid of it. I'm kind of screwed unless malwarebytes can get it.

I don't think the uploader intended to spread malware, so much as the file sharing program he was using (Sendspace) replaced the legitimate file with a virus. Or is using the name of his game to spread viruses to people who are not paying attention. (me)
I think the file was an executable file pretending to be a zip. named "Super Mario RPG The Starlite Worlds.zip" but with a possible .exe file extension that I failed to notice.
High priority problem. Obviously I am stuck with a virus that can't be cleaned by 2 up to date malware cleaners. (I will post again when Malewarebytes is done scanning.)

and instead of getting a game, there was no playable file, tons of fake virus scanners and a flood of installation programs unrelated to any game. And all personal anti-virus programs went insane on me.
It isn't so much that the uploader intended to spread the virus, so much as the file sharing program he was using (Sendspace) replaced the legitimate file with a virus.
Where can I go... if anywhere... to report this to prevent it from happening to others.
Pretty high priority problem. I cleaned most of the malware to my knowledge fairly quickly, but I have no idea if there could be more of it.

Super Mario RPG: The Starlite Worlds
Where can I report this game for malware?
The download link (Sendspace) for Starlite downloaded a zip file that... when unpacked, flooded my PC with trojans and fake virus scanners and horrible PC usage.
I couldn't even play, because there was no game.
I need to report the uploader, either for zipping a virus into a fake labeled game, or for linking people to a corrupt fileshare service.
Can't even begin to tell you how pissed I am.
