Where's your favorite spot to get spyware?

I want to test the software so I need to find out where to
visit to get spywared. :)

I was going to ask this differently but didn't want to seem
like a troll or flamebait. Spyware is a serious problem and
I've cleaned up more than a few PCs, but I've been running
pop-up blockers, anti-virus, and anti-spyware for a long
time and I don't remember having anything worse than
cookies. My Mac-using sister-in-law used her dad's PC for a
weekend and the thing ended up trashed and hijacked, but I
don't know what she "did".
 
There have been a couple of good links posted here, but I don't have them
handy. A search of these groups on the key http:// would probably find
them.

Gamer sites featuring cheats and with a really suspicious dialog boxes that
you MUST click to enter are likely to yield a treasure trove.

Install Kazaa or Grokster. You'll have plenty to clean up then.
