Fighting ‘Scareware’ One List at a time

By Paul | Jul 16, 2009

Techworld has published an article that describes how the AV Vendors are compiling a Whitelist of AV Vendors who are really trying to keep there users safe and not trying to ‘Scare‘ the user into buying a rogue look a like.  They’ve published a Preliminary set of real Antivirus Softwares along with there Company:

CCSSParticpiation

As you can see there are at least to that are not listed.  I’ve contacted SUPERAntiSpyware about this and they turned right around and started to ask to be added and should be Added in the coming months.   The other is Malwarebytes and I am hoping they jump aboard and get in contact with this forum.

The Guys over at SUPERAntiSpyware were really grateful that I came across this.   This list will soon help fight the SCAREWARE Tactics of the Cyber Criminals.   Truth of the matter is educating oneself and doing a little bit of research can help you determine if the program or company is real or just another rogue company out there.   If your looking for some good Antivirus Software check out my Antivirus Page and see some of the FREE Antivirus Software out there that can help protect your system.
