Anti-Spyware Coalition Finalizes Spyware Definition; Releases Risk Modeling Document; Announces Public Meeting

Washington, D.C. – October 27, 2005 – The Anti-Spyware Coalition (ASC), an alliance of technology companies and public interest groups, today announced several key accomplishments in its ongoing effort to help users combat the unwanted and often dangerous spyware infesting their computers.

As both Cyber-Security and Domestic Violence Awareness Month draws to a close, ASC today unveiled its final, consensus definition of spyware, which was developed by coalition members including major anti-spyware companies, software developers and public interest groups. The definitions were further shaped by almost 400 comments submitted by organizations and individuals to the ASC Web site (http://www.antispywarecoalition.org). The final document, available now on the ASC Web site, will serve as the foundation for all of the coalition's future anti-spyware efforts.

Press Release

Hello Bubba,

Very interesting & helpful! I guess were the early pioneers settling staking out new frontiers. The task of fighting the bad guys, becomes more difficult, without standards. Along these lines, it looks like AV companies do not have the same name, for the same virus. In order to get everybody on the same page (standardize) check out the following:

It's too bad Symantec chose not lend its support. Perhaps if this is successful peer pressure will force all AV companies to standardize.

Take Care

PS. From North America would I be correct in assuming Bartlett is down under?
