Draft guidelines for public comment

Periodically, we update our Badware Guidelines to reflect what we have learned from the community and from our work. We have recently put together a draft of our new guidelines for software, and we’d like your feedback. Please let us know what you think in our discussion group or via e-mail to contact@stopbadware.org.

In addition to any observations, corrections, or suggestions you have, we’re interested in a couple specific questions:

1. Do we adequately cover the issue of behavior that is/isn’t appropriate with automatic update features?
2. Is the “deceptive behavior” section overly broad, or does it accurately capture an element of badware that we were missing?

Thanks for your input!
