Netscape again - are they nuts????
Y'know, I normally try to avoid repeating what other MVPs and anti-spyware bloggers are talking about, but this has got me seriously peeved.

And Ben Edelman's blog:

What the hell is going on in Netscape world? First the Netscape 8 XML bug and now this?
Netscape touts their Trust Rating system as protecting users from, among other things, “Sites which attempt to inject malicious programs or code onto your system (Spyware, Adware, Trojans, and viruses)”.
Now, the sites mentioned in the spywareblog may not try to automatically install adware or spyware, but they sure as hell offer it for download. There are some very well known, unsavoury, names listed on the spywareblog that have been associated with adware and malware that causes a lot of grief for PC users.
Sign me p*ssed off.
