browse on the internet using an 'expendable' windows install with Internet Explorer on the default settings and you should find plenty of spyware and malware.

I'd say surfing around to seedy porn and warez sites in IE with the security turned all the way down while clicking yes to everything that pops up will do you just fine.

check out this article, recently linked on fark. they talk about comparing differnet spyware removal programs, and they go into detail about what they did to infect their machine:

especially look at page two, where they give links to the different programs they installed.

run a registry watcher, and then install Kazaa.

www.gator.com ! That was at least my first taste of spyware.

Oh boy, you guys crack me up...
I bet both of those would work just fine.

My little sister always seems to spyware up her computer in a matter of days on teen chat forums. Every few months I clean her computer off and am always disgusted with what I find.

I cant believe that the have SpyHunter as a legitimate removal tool on that page. I recently was infected by a CWS.yEXE virus through a hole in the MS VM....I downloaded SpyHunter and it loaded even MORE spyware onto my machine. I couldnt believe it...smarmy bastards!

Can you recommend one? I could use a registry watcher.

once upon a time i used one called Advanced Registry Tracer. it would take a snapshot of the registry before an installation and then again afterwards and then compare the two files for differences. the url was

another one that watches the registry is called Regmon, and i got it here:

www.sysinternals.com

That sysinternals website is a good find - thanks!
That'll come in very useful!
