This site lists quite a number of infested programs:

http://kppfree.altervista.org/spylist.htm

Not all of the programs listed were available for download from
the urls given, but I was able to fetch a high percentage of them.

I found that KAV with the extra defs alerts on many (but not all)
of the downloaded install files. Of the six I uploaded to Virus Total,
there was only one that a few other av alerted on. It had a
"downloader" Trojan in it. Otherwise, av scanners just go "duh"
as you might expect.

I wonder if there are any other scanners suitable for scanning
install and setup files ... and alerting to the Adware/Spyware
that will be installed.
