I can argue with that! You are accessing the internet are you? Even through NAT you cannot access many websites before you start picking up spyware/malware.  :-(

I would like to be infected with malware - which web pages do I have to visit?

I use Win2k with no firewall (my computer is plugged straight into my cable-modem) and no anti-anything software whatsoever.  The only malware I`ve ever been `infected` with is StarForce ;o)

I think all this talk about windows boxes being instantly swamped with insidious programmes within seconds of plugging in the ethernet is just bluster.  I would be fascinated to be proven wrong though and I`m not fussed about having to reinstall windows if necessary...

Surf those for a bit on your unprotected Windows box.

Also google some fun stuff like:

"Free wallpaper"
"Free smilies"

For some detail on some of the better rootkit spyware that will really get your system ready for a good FDISKing look up "Cool Web Search"

*EDIT*
Oh, don't forget a really nice peer to peer file sharing application from Kazaa:
http://www.kazaa.com/

It installs spyware that's actually required for it to run. When you run Ad-Aware or Spybot (Insert fave cleaning program) etc on it and remove the spyware and Kazaa will say "A critical component for this program to run is missing, click here to reinstall it."

Have fun infecting, and I would advise anyone that gets an Email from this guy over the next month to filter it to the trash can.  :crazy:

Right on, I`ve had a look through but it seems to need you to click things mostly to fall for them.  I guess that`s it though, some people just click and don`t think.  Same with Kazaa, it`s there in the eula if you look.  I was thinking more about stuff that insinuates itself with no interaction from the user at all.  
By the way, don`t worry about me being a typhoid Mary as I`ve got an install on an old 1Gb drive that I`ve been using for this `experiment`.
