Question
Comprehensive Site List
Greetings,
We have a pretty standard corporate Internet usage policy prohibiting the usual non-work related surfing activities. I have ten firewalls around the company which we use to help implement the policy. My problem is that every time a new piece of freeware comes to my attention, I have to research it then go to all 10 firewalls and plug it up.
Can anyone point me to a resource that would have a comprehensive list of the most commonly blocked sites/services and how to block them? (i.e. Kaaza, Hotbar, Weather Bug, GoToMyPC, AIM, etc...) so I can do a comprehensive update all at once.
I not trying to block every adult site nor install any filter services or management tools... I'm just looking for a list.
Thanks,
Afrosonic.

The Spyware List database was retired on February 18, 2003.

Last update: May 20, 2003
"Spyware is the name which was given to software that - without the user of the program knowing that the software performs this kind of action - traces the user's usage of the internet and sends this information - again without the user knowing this is happening - to a computer ("Server") designated by the developer of the Spyware software.
"By performing these actions, detailed userprofiles may be collected - without the user's knowledge and approval - which then can be used for commercial or other purposes. By gathering and sending this information both resources on the user's computer as well as bandwidth on the Internet is abusively used, not to mention the breach of privacy such a userprofile would be."

{Guide to stopping spies} Spyware Guide provides information about
spyware and adware, something we all despise, right? OK, who
shouted, "No?" You must write spyware. If not, e-mail me; I've
gotta meet you. The site does clearly state that it does neither
agrees nor disagree with the makers of spyware or adware software,
and it is NOT a sounding board for debate. It's there as a
resource to serve the Internet community. Recently, two spyware
programs attacked me; one was from a program that I was testing
for you Gnomies (which I immediately removed it from the review
list), and another came out of nowhere. I looked them up and this
source listed one of them, explaining what it is and how to squash
it. I dropped a line to the folks behind the site telling them
about the second piece of spyware that I encountered, and maybe
it'll be posted soon. Especially nice is the Blocklist File
download [
http://www.spywareguide.co
Spyware Block List File
What and Why?
Tired of all that Spyware and Adware crap being installed by ActiveX ?
But don't want to loose out on functionality?
We have created a system that blocks all known "bad" ActiveX controls from running inside Internet Explorer by setting the "Kill bit".
When a page tries to install a component from our list, it will fail.
When a page tries to use a component from our list that was already present on your system, it will fail too!
Other, "friendly" components are not affected.
Download and Installation
The best part of it is that we can pull this off without any programs running on your Pc, without even having to run a program to install the block list! All you need to down is download the -small- registry file below (Right-Click, choose "Save As...") and then double click it to enter it into the registry and activate the protection.
