Blacklisting in common browsers
Recently, I’d faced few interesting things about malware blacklists for common browsers:
1. It usually covered by name of big AV company.
2. It sometimes not updated directly from big AV company in 1
3. It responsibility of an website owner to remove it from those blacklists
4. It somehow became a proof and excuse for others to not to recheck they blacklisting – mean even if website is clean, it easier to point to some other blacklist like: “It’s bad, they blocking it too” instead of recheck the website.
Anyway, I kinda accept the point number 3, but should the owner take all run around the AV vendors to beg each one of them recheck the site and hear “others blocking it, so we are too”?
FYI:
Firefox & Chrome – Malware blocking by http://www.stopbadware.org/
Opera – Malware blocking by Sophos via Yandex.
IE uses SmartScreen technology by MS
