Help us out by donating. StopBadware is a not-for-profit project, and we rely on donations to maintain our independent status.

If your company produces a feed of malware URLs or related malware data, contribute to research and takedown efforts by joining our Data Sharing Program

Hosts and other network providers can contribute to a safer web by following StopBadware's best practices for web hosting providers. The best practices were developed in 2011 by a top-notch working group that sought to create a framework for ways hosting and other providers can effectively respond to reports of badware on their networks.
