Companies or organizations that contribute to the Badware Website Clearinghouse are called data partners. Although each partner has its own guidelines for determining what sites to submit to the Clearinghouse, these guidelines are generally consistent with StopBadware’s own Software and Website Guidelines. Unless the owner of a website requests a review from us, StopBadware does not independently test or review the sites that are provided to us by our data partners; we merely report the information about the websites that is provided to us by these partners.

StopBadware’s current data partners are Google and Sunbelt Software.
