StopBadware.org is a "Neighborhood Watch" campaign aimed at fighting badware
<http://stopbadware.org/home/help> . We will seek to provide reliable,
objective information about downloadable applications in order to help
consumers to make better choices about what they download on to their
computers. We aim to become a central clearinghouse for research on badware
and the bad actors who spread it, and to become a focal point for developing
collaborative, community-minded approaches to stopping badware.

Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Oxford
University's Oxford Internet Institute are leading this initiative with the
support of several prominent tech companies, including Google, Lenovo, and
Sun Microsystems. Consumer Reports WebWatch is serving as an unpaid special
advisor.

John Palfrey, Executive Director of the Berkman Center and Harvard Clinical
Professor of Law, and Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard Law Visiting Professor and
Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University, are
StopBadware.org co-directors. Supporting them are an advisory board
<http://stopbadware.org/home/advisory_board>  and working group
<http://stopbadware.org/home/working_group>  made up of some of the top
experts in the field, including Internet pioneers Esther Dyson and Vint
Cerf.
