Hi Kent,
1. Here's some info on the perps against whom you wish to test your browser's shields:

http://www.simplythebest.net/info/spyware.html

specifically hit the section entitled:

*The main spyware perpetrators*

is going to be gold mine for your *development/testing* purposes as they have a listing of specific spyware ... but sorry, the only links there are how to uninstall your spyware/trojan ;)

2. also, for another seemingly thourough site visit:

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

3. On a personal note, I run four tiers of defense on my *home* PC .. Outpost PFW, The Proxomitron - Universal Web Filter, AVG anti-virus and Ad-Aware.

Also, since I have been using Mozilla for *months* I haven't had one browser issue vs. my pre-enlightenment days.
