DESCRIPTION
This category includes pages which distribute spyware and
other malware. Spyware is defined as software which takes
control of your computer, modifies computer settings, collects
or reports personal information, or misrepresents itself by
tricking users to install, download, or enter personal
information. This includes drive-by downloads; browser
hijackers; dialers; intrusive advertising; any program which
modifies your homepage, bookmarks, or security settings; and
keyloggers. It also includes any software which bundles
spyware (as defined above) as part of its offering. Information
collected or reported is "personal" if it contains uniquely
identifying data, such as e-mail addresses, name, social
security number, IP address, etc. A site is not classified as
spyware if the user is reasonably notified that the software will
perform these actions (that is, it alerts that it will send personal
information, be installed, or that it will log keystrokes). Note:
Sites rated as spyware should have a second category assigned
with them.

that make extensive use of tracking cookies without a posted
privacy statement; and sites to which browser hijackers redirect
