Stopbadware is a very bad company. They are blocking many sites that have no adware/spyware/whateverware. To us, they have no right to suddenly block a site without proper consent, nor forewarning before blocking it. If they do not have the man power to check sites that are submitted before blocking, they should not block these sites. We have a site, committed completely to the education world, which many local districts in our state log into, and now if they have to google, they will have to cut and paste it to access the site. This is totally ridiculous, and will probably result in many lawsuits from many companies in the future.

I agree 100% one of the sites I host is listed, the damage to their comapny is substantial. Since this project is run by the Harvard Law School it’s safe to say they are imnune to being sued. If they have the “brains” to determine the site is a source of malware, WTF can’t they contact the owner of this site. If there TRUE mission was to reduce the spread of malware shouldn’t this be their top priority.
