|  How to Get Viruses/Spyware I am helping with a class at the University of South Carolina where we teach basic computer hardware and software skills. So far this semester each student has built their own desktop. From here we want to teach how to install an OS (duh) and then we will use these machines as "test" machines with Viruses and Spyware. Basically my current objective is to get viruses and spyware to load on everyone's computers so they can see how they affect them and to teach them how to get rid of them using different software and techniques. Is it even possible without just surfing porn without a hardware or software firewall or downloading gobs of crap through kazaa, bearshare, etc. to just obtain a virus or peice of spyware? If anyone has a method or source for anything like this that would be excellent. Thankyou. Josh |

| here's an old vid clip from a BBC program called click online, click the media link at the top to watch it. http://www.bbcworld.com/content/clic...65&co_pageid=3 I think it has someone who goes on the net with xp original or xp service pack 1 with no anti virus,firewall or spyware software. I believe you can get infected very quickly but I don't know unless I try it my self sometime. |

   | Yea, just surf around, your bound to pick globulars of crap. You could also turn IE security settings to the lowest and turn the XP firewall off, as well as auto updates. But I doubt if theres a "Hey LOOK FREE Virus and Spyware download HERE NOW FOR FREE" website. If there was I would have fun. Muahahah When I first connected my Dell to cable internet mY AV instantly detected an instance of blaster worm. (Which was annilated imeddiatly)
