Dear Sirs:

While we appreciate your reply below we hereby inform you that your sites are coming up when we type in: www.stolenbuaca.com and therefore will be held legally accountable before the Attorney General.

Subject: Re: UNLAWFUL BLOCKING OF WWW.STOLENBUACA.COM

Good morning:

StopBadware does not block sites in any manner, and never has. We do not curate or maintain a blacklist of any type, and we do not create or issue malware warnings.

In most cases, the company "blocking" sites is Google, via its Safe Browsing blacklist. We do not see any record of STOLENBUACA. COM or WWW. STOLENBUACA. COM ever having been blacklisted by Google in any capacity.

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://stolenbuaca.com
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.stolenbuaca.com

Google constantly scans for badware activity using automated systems, with no regard whatsoever for site contents or ownership. When badware activity is detected, Google issues a warning about that site in order to protect customers. Google may also choose to share its Safe Browsing blacklist with other organizations, and those organizations may choose to issue warnings of their own. Both Safari and Firefox use Google's Safe Browsing blacklist to warn their own customers about websites that may, however unknowingly, infect visitors with malware. In most cases, there is an option to ignore the warnings should a user decide he or she wants to visit a blacklisted site anyway.

Google and two other companies provide StopBadware with their blacklist data so as to ensure transparency and accuracy with regard to their blacklists. Webmasters whose sites have been blacklisted by Google and our other data providers (GFI and NSFocus) can request independent reviews from StopBadware if they believe their sites have been blacklisted in error. URLs that are or have ever been on the blacklists of our data providers are archived in our Clearinghouse, along with any record of requests for independent review.

We have no record of the site you referenced, STOLENBUACA. COM in our Clearinghouse. We also do not see any warnings being issued about STOLENBUACA. COM, and we do not see any "block" in place to impede navigation to STOLENBUACA. COM.

If you are seeing warnings about the site you referenced via another source, please contact them directly. We are not familiar with "Online Guardian," but they are not affiliated with StopBadware. While your frustration is understandable, it is misdirected; we do not currently block websites in any capacity, and we have never done so in the past.

Regards,

Caitlin Condon, StopBadware
