    Trying to beta test the SME security suite with the sophos anti virus and spy sweeper. Where can I go to on the web to deliberately infect myself? Why is it so hard to think of places to go to to get a virus or spyware?

    There are many places you can go to get infections. Sometimes it is a little hard to pickup a particular infection. We don't like to advertise in the forum any links to infections since to many unsuspecting noobs could possibly cause themselves big problems.

    I'll give you one link for a Zlob type infection from Video Access. Try this: http://activexsource.com/ Please tell me when you get this because I will be deleting it from the thread.

    Just give your PC to a teenager for about 10 minutes.;) That should get you just about anything you can imagine. :D

    If you want to get a quick taste of a few things, install Kazaa and sponsor programs.
    Also install Messenger Plus 3 and its sponse programs.
    Then goto a few porn type sites and download some of the supposedly required codecs necessary to view videos. This should give you a few forms of Zlob (aka SmitFraud).

    Note that there is a difference between trying to get infected and then cleaning it with tools and having all the tools in place and seeing if the infection can actually get past the protection. Which are you trying to verify? Is SME Security Suite an application with an antivirus, firewall and more? If so, then you should not be running Sophos Antivirus at the same time. You will reduce the effectiveness of both programs that way and you will not be properly testing either of them.
