So I use Google to search for:

the new MISS USA images

or just

MISS USA

or

MISS USA images

Sounds easy enough - which is the fastest way?

Any particular browser? What is the most likely?

I do not run any real time protection for these kinds of tests, so how
will I know when I have the malware? What will I see, what are the
symptoms, etc.

This is like opening a safe for me... How long will it take to crack
it.

Jose likes to get his computer infected on purpose ... !

Some people find pleasure in the strangest things !!

It is difficult to supply current details of legitimate websites
that might damage your computer, because responsible site owners
will remove the infection, as soon as they become aware there
might be a problem.

However, you could try www dot demkowicz dot com. (I have munged
the URL to protect other readers, in case they click on the link
accidentally.)

You will find further details of the infection at

I second Peter's advice. It's not *commercial* security suites that
are bad, it's those particular ones--Norton and McAfee.

In my view, eSET NOD32, a commercial product, is the best anti-virus
product out there.

No product on the market is so bad that it always fails. The
difference is that the better ones fail less often.

I know places I can go to get infected on purpose (maybe my question
was not quite right).

I need to find the infections that I just cannot fix that will make
me: lose important data (other than a loss from my own hand) convince
me that the only resolution is to reformat and reinstall XP, perform a
repair install of XP, conduct some parallel installation of XP to fix
the original one, use a Restore Point, move my HDD to another machine
or use some Linux PE CD to fix it.

Sorry, but I don't have that sort of information.
