| Adware company listiings
Is there any site that we can see and or list offending adware companies. I think we could help stop this if we made an effort to expose these companies, report them to FTC and State Attorneys General in a joint effort.
Thanks,

| I don't know of any off the top of my head, but I seem to recall Microsoft is already doing that - taking the scum to court. I can't seem to quickly locate where I may have read that. The FTC is already after them.
See »www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2008/1···-people/ - the legit AV industry knows all about them - I bet they have a nice list of them. |

I can name one - Innovative Marketing. They were responsible for rogues like ErrorSafe, PCTurboPro, WinAntiVirus, etc., all of which are similar to Winfixer. They are being sued by the FTC.
