Google Pack shipping Badware?
2008-04-18 10:01:00 StopBadware.org label RealPlayer as Badware! StopBadware.org has now labeled two versions of the RealPlayer media player software as badware applications. They claim that these two editions inadequately disclose ?advertising behaviors?. In addition, the latest edition of the software goes ahead and installs Rhapsody Player Engine without notifying the user. StopBadware added in its statement on this new development: ?The advertising software bundled with RealPlayer is misleadingly called a ?message center,? and is described incompletely and inconspicuously in the EULA as software designed to provide useful software updates. When RealPlayer 10.5 is installed, the advertising features of this ?message center? are enabled by default for users who choose not to register their personal information with RealNetworks after the software is installed.? RealNetworks responded in its own statement on these claims: ?We?re really transparent about what we?re installing on someone?s machine.? The...

Badware alerts for your sites
2007-05-01 18:50:00 As part of our efforts to protect users, we have been warning people using Google search before they visit sites that have been determined to distribute badware under the guidelines (http://www.stopbadware.org/hom-e/guidelines#website) published by StopBadware. Warning users is only part of the solution, though; the real win comes from helping webmasters protect their own users by alerting them when their sites have been flagged for badware -- and working with them to remove the threats. It's my pleasure to introduce badware alerts in Google webmaster tools. You can see on the Diagnostic Summary tab if your site has been determined to distribute badware and can access information to help you correct this (http://www.google.com/support/-webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer-=45432).

About badware warnings
2007-05-01 18:50:00 Some of you have asked about the warnings we show searchers when they click on search results leading to sites that distribute malicious software. As a webmaster, you may be concerned about the possibility of your site being flagged. We want to assure you that we take your concerns very seriously, and that we are very careful to avoid flagging sites incorrectly. It's our goal to avoid sending people to sites that would compromise their computers. These exploits often result in real people losing real money. Compromised bank accounts and stolen credit card numbers are just the tip of this identity theft iceberg. If your site has been flagged for badware, we let you know this in webmaster tools (http://googlewebmastercentral.-blogspot.com/2006/11/badware-al-erts-for-your-sites.html). Often, we find that webmasters aren't aware that their sites have been compromised, and this warning in search results is a surprise. Fixing a compromised site can be quite hard. Simply cleaning up the H... |
