StopBadware.org and Consumer Reports WebWatch have announced today the full launch of BadwareBusters.org, a new online community for people looking for help preventing and countering viruses, spyware, and other “badware” on their computers and websites.

Maxim Weinstein, manager of StopBadware.org at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, says the site is not only a useful destination, but also a piece of a bigger puzzle. “BadwareBusters.org is part of StopBadware’s strategy to bring together the people, the organizations, and the data that allow us to fight back against the spread of badware,” Weinstein said. “The collective wisdom of the BadwareBusters community will inform not only individuals, but the entire technology industry.”
