Where can I find a harmless Spyware website to test against.
I am testing spyware solutions in a web proxy. To enure that they work I need to be able to have a web page I can try to surf to that has known spyware on it.
Preferably this would be something I can load in my test lab and have some control over. But if not then a reliable web page on the internet I can surf to that will attempt to serve me spyware and I can check that the proxy detects and blocks it. Obviously I need this to be safe and not start killing my network or machines.
If anyone knows of any I'd be gratefull.
Thanks.

Not spyware, but safe: GRC.com
Symantec also has a PC Health test program online. I am not sure how well it is, they are more an A/V company. Actually, if you fail these kinds of tests, it can be easier for anything to sneak through
Just start searching for software cracks... you'll find viruses and spyware soon enough. =)
Virus samples from eicar.com, or malware samples from finjan.com could be helpful, as would metasploit.com.

tim this sounds like what I need, the spyware/malware equivielant of eicar. I've looked on the finjan and metasploit sites but can't see a where to get the samples from. Any chance of a hint, or should I just contact the site and ask?
Thanks.
Thanks.
