Microsoft Filed Lawsuits against Malware Crooks
September 20th, 2009 by Adarsh
Microsoft filed five lawsuits against alleged purveyors of “malvertisements” — online advertisements that dupe unsuspecting users into downloading malicious software on their computers.
The suits cite anonymous defendants using the business names Direct Ad Solutions, Soft Solutions Inc., Qiweroqw.com, ITmeter Inc. and ote2008.info, alleging that they used Microsoft’s system for posting online ads to attract users to sites that attempted to install malicious software on their PCs.
Someone has to take care of these rogue companies that plant mal-ware everywhere. It’s a good start, let us wait and see whether malware crooks just die or come back with vengeance.
