TRUSTe sites not to be trusted
« on: September 26, 2006, 06:35:43 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

A relatively large percentage of sites that had the TRUSTe certification could be termed spyware sites. Some of the most renowned adware sites had TRUSTe certification. In this respect TRUSTe certification cannot be trusted. Read this Ben Edelman report on the situation. Not a cheerful state of affair. Regulators have a long, long, long way to go..IMHO.
Read about the report here:
