Stop spyware and other &quot;bad&quot;ware is a new initiative aimed at stopping spyware and other deceptive software.

Viruses and worms are no longer the biggest threat to computer users now it's badware. Badware is a term we use to encompass the broad range of malicious software that is sneaking onto people's computers, including spyware and deceptive adware. It can subvert your computer for the benefit for a third party, frustrate you with unwanted advertising, and even steal your most personal information.
