I'm evaluating anti-spyware products. I've been going on to one adult website to infect my machine with spyware, adware and that kind of stuff.
Does anyone know of any websites where I can get mammonth amounts of spyware from?

LOL ! Just keep browsing adult sites and peer-to-peer networks. You're bound to get infected with everything imaginable.
Hope this helps... have fun!

Hi, also try some of those freebie programs like gator for instance. It may be easy do download, but hell to get rid of. I can't think of a few other I had a lot of trouble getting rid of, thanks to the contributors at this site I was able to purge my computer. What I am saying, most times, what is free ain't free, you pay in other ways. frank
