Spyware/Malware

This category includes pages which distribute spyware and other

 

Sources

malware. Spyware and malware are defined as software which

 

 

takes control of your computer, modifies computer settings,

 

 

collects or reports personal information, or misrepresents itself

 

 

by tricking users to install, download, or enter personal

 

 

information. This includes drive-by downloads; browser

 

 

hijackers; dialers; intrusive advertising; any program which

 

 

modifies your homepage, bookmarks, or security settings; and

 

 

keyloggers. It also includes any software which bundles

 

 

spyware (as defined above) as part of its offering. Information

 

 

collected or reported is "personal" if it contains uniquely

 

 

identifying data, such as e-mail addresses, name, social security

 

 

number, IP address, etc. A site is not classified as spyware if the

 

 

user is reasonably notified that the software will perform these

 

 

actions (that is, it alerts that it will send personal information,

 

 

be installed, or that it will log keystrokes). Note: Sites rated as

 

 

spyware should have a second category assigned with them.
