Need spyware recommendations!
#1
Posted 20 November 2004 - 11:49 PM
So, I want a recommendation of several spyware programs to infect the virtual machine with! I'm starting, I think, with KaZaa, Grokster, Morpheus, and maybe BearShare. I also need something persistent enough that it takes a Safe Mode boot, or even booting from a CD, to remove it (CoolWWWSearch?). Any other recommendations?
Finally, I need one or more Web sites where, using Internet Explorer without popup protection, I know I can get a "drive by" spyware infection. (I'm looking for benign stuff, not pornography.) I have no ideas on this; any recommendations?
I'm a Windows expert, but have been careful enough not to experience any spyware infections myself, so this is new territory for me. Any help will be appreciated. Sande

If you want specific Adware, Zilla Connection Accelerator comes bundled, will load registry entries, files, the full set.
For Coolwebsearch try this domains list, http://users.skynet..../CWSdomains.htm
but although you can avoid the obvious porn ones, there's no guarantee you won't have to look at questionable sites.
