There are standardized ways to share malware downloads. Google likely respects them.

What is that standardized way?

Encrypted zip files with the password listed on the website is the easiest one that comes to mind. I wonder if googlebot will some day decrypt those files because a lot of pirated software is distributed in encrypted zip files. Scanning those files for viruses would be pretty useful for the average user.

I guess captchas are the only bulletproof solution
