Thursday, January 26th, 2006 at 10:14 am by Helen Montgomery, AC Magazine
Here’s some good news for affiliates everywhere. With funding from Google, Lenovo Group, and Sun Microsystems, Harvard and Oxford Universities have teamed up to fight “badware” - spyware, adware, and parasiteware.
The purpose of StopBadware.org is to expose companies that create or use spyware, adware, and parasiteware to the cold, critical light of day. So far the “brain trust” at the Stop badware Coalition has been praised by affiliate management consultant Shawn Collins, as well as Wayne Porter, Senior Director of Greynet Research at FaceTime Security Labs and long-time affiliate advocate and crusader against evil spyware.
Click here to check out the StopBadware.org website. And if you’ve had your computer - or commissions - trashed, stolen, hosed, or hijacked by evil software, make sure you tell your story at the Stop Badware site.
You can also get involved by joining the Stop Badware community and helping with the investigative process. If nothing else, simply sign up for the Stop Badware newsletter to get new badware reports.
