As in you deliberately want to infect yourself ? There is a way but unless you are determined I wouldn't recommend it. Google for a crack or warez site and download any programmes or click any links on the page. Or get a P2P progamme and disable your AV whilst downloading and running programmes. Open all your spam E-Mail attachments without checking them . I do not recommend that any one try this as there are some insiduous programmes out there that will download a rootkit which can be a bu**er to remove. But if you want to remain safe do the opposite to the above.

If you go deliberately infecting yourself with a virus, I hope you aren't planning to come back here asking how to fix it?

To quote John McEnroe "You cannot be serious!"

Hi folks,

I'm currently deliberately infecting a spare machine just so I can play around using the various removal tools.
Its very addictive and fun too.
Why?? Why not..

I've read your exploits with your test machine Jack.

You are having fun, and doing valuable research too. You're not likely to be asking how to fix things though, so enjoy .....

Don't forget to share your findings on tools and repairs you test and approve etc.
