I have a client whose site (not one I developed) is infected by a trojan/malicious code. I have asked him to send me the dirty files in a zip but either Gmail or unzipping is blocking them.
I've tried text files and word files, and I'm suspecting many different file types will be blocked the same way, either by my mail client, anti-malware software, browser etc. (which is normal).
Do you know a way he could share those lines so I can read them and do some research about the malicious source code?
An image/screenshot of his text editor would be an idea but the files are long and I'd prefer to be able to copy/paste from them.
If it's text, they could upload it over on Pastebin or one of its many clones. I would recommend making an 'unlisted' or 'private' paste, not public. Their AUP doesn't seem to mention malicious code, but it's probably not your desire to spread this.

12You could set a password for the zip file so the antivirus scanners would not have access to the zip file. – colemik – 2012-07-08T13:50:44.103
This is exactly why antivirus companies ask people to submit malware in encrypted .zip files. – Michael Hampton – 2012-07-15T04:50:17.190
