Re: Site Advisor: Helping To Decide Good\Bad Sites

the arms race continues.

So, I am a bad site. And this pesky tool is starting to reduce my daily spyware installs. What can I do to counter?

lots of things.

I can create new domain names faster than they can be crawled.

I can detect crawlers, and offer them peaceful HTML.

I can install spyware only when I see netblocks from AOL, comcast, and other well known IP ranges.

I can hide the malware behind screens that humans easily probe but robots cannot (image maps, question and answer sessions, "free surveys", etc).

Soon, we're all paying (in time, brain space and money) for Yet Another Defense Layer and they are subverting it as often as they subvert spyware scanners, virus scanners and so on (eg: often).

Even so, would you rather companies just stop trying altogether? Because other than giving up, trying to make users safer is all you can really offer. There is no silver bullet and I'm all for people\companies who offer ways to protect, especially when it's a relatively simple thing such as this.
