You mean like what programs we use ourselves don't you?
If yes, like many others I use Spybot and Adaware. And also SpywareBlaster & SpywareGuard.

All free.

Don't know where you can get them directly but it isn't hard to get heavely infected very fast :tongue: , have a look at Doxdesk's Main parasite list , for most of the malware they've added the distribution method/site of infection.

This one looks like a great one to start with :cheesy: :

http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/FavoriteMan.html

Distribution

The Ss32 variant is installed by SpyAssault, a supposed spyware scanner from Razor Media. The MMView variant is installed by ActiveX drive-by downloads in pop-ups sourced from Mamma Media Solutions (targetnet.com).
The Favorite, F1 and Mpz variants have been bundled with iMesh. The ZZ and Gr02 variants were bunded with Grokster around January and June 2003.
The IMZ variant is installed by the lop/IMZ parasite. The Gig variant is installed by software from TwistedHumor.com. (’Gig’ refers to Gigatech Software, producers of the SuperBar parasite.)
The YsUp variant is installed by ActiveX drive-by download in pop-up adverts served by YesUp Ecommerce Solutions (yesup.net, popinads.com), who also operate the Pugi/WhyPPC parasite.
The Int, Icm and ATPartners variants are installed by downloads from affiliates of addictivetechnologies.com/addictivetechnologies.net/at-games.com, including Vista’s own sites such as 1000funnyvideos.com, screensthemesandmore.com and at-offers.com, and others such as free-windows-games.com.
The ATPartners variant is additionally installed by bundling with other parasites and from affiliate sites using ActiveX drive-by downloads, ‘aggressive’ downloader scripts and IE security hole exploits.
And "FavoriteMan" invites alot of friends to the party once youre infected with it.
