Paul Keith:
Such scraper sites with adsense/adbrite/adigy on them are even featured on google results, i don't understand how can google give us results of such sites. :mad:

I think services mentioned below can be used to take these sites down.

# Phishtank (another opendns sister project)
# Web of Trust (Firefox plugin available)

BTW good job for pointing it out, Scannie  :up:

Doubt it. These sites are often designed for those who already know enough to avoid these security problems.

Paul Keith:
 ;D Well, I'm not saying they don't help. Just that 99% of the time, if you have a PC with these things enabled, you already have a user that can easily be informed of this problem because they already have Firefox or Opera installed.

The audience for these systems are primarily casual users migrating to casual tech level users. Not really the audience of these kinds of scam sites. More for those people who might not be aware of phishing and fake sites. (fake as in drive by downloads malware)

scancode:
New ones.
The Vuze, Adobe Reader and IE ones look BETTER than the real sites, ffs.

Any way to stop them?

Carol Haynes:
Depends where the scammers are based - if the site are simply registered in the Dominican Republic (presumably nothing to do with ICANN) and the people who registered them are in the US or elsewhere then they can be taken to court for identity theft, copyright and patent infringement etc. and get cease and desist orders made against them.

If on the other hand they are based in countries that don't honour these international agreements it is difficult to see what can be done short of a boycott of the nations until they agree to enforce international treaties.
