StopBadware.org Names And Shames Malware

Anti-spyware organisation StopBadware.org today added four software programs to its Badware Watch List, which aims to name and shame applications that contain embedded malware.

The reports are the most recent in a series released by Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Oxford University’s Oxford Internet Institute as part of an ongoing effort to battle malicious spyware programs.

“Today we are identifying four more applications pointed out by consumers that failed our tests for badware,” said John Palfrey, co-director of StopBadware.org and executive director of the Berkman Center.

Here is a link to their first set of reports.
