StopBadware

The Berkman Center, along with the Oxford Internet Institute, Consumer Reports Webwatch, and a bunch of corporate sponsors, have launched StopBadware.org, an attempt to organize volunteers to create a database of purveyors of malware.

Sounds good! And it's got a great set of people/organizations behind it. [Tags: adware malware berkman]

(Disclosure, I'm on the board of advisors of SiteAdvisor, a company using a different technique to compile a similar database. The initiatives seem to me to be complementary.)
