    I don't understand why a host would have an outright ban on this. That said, I have 14 virus programs running simultaneously on my computer.

    As I understand it you want to link to an .exe download, any decent host should allow this. I prefer Rackspace.

    What hosting companies you contacted? I can't imagine any hosting provider who wouldn't allow adding download links to *.exe files (assuming files are legit).

    lol no need to contact hosting companies to ask. It's just a file. 99% will allow it. Most hosting companies probably have a Software company as a client. You most likely aren't receiving a response back because it's a weird question and they probably think you are a scammer or virus creator or something.

    what i understand, you have a software installed in your machine and you want this software to download the exe from the internet. thios action is prevented. but you can encrypt it into txt. those are the steps:
    encrypt your exe into txt file
    upload it
    when you download it(under txt format) decrypt it
