Spamware? Yes. Media3 does host Web sites which sell software that sends bulk e-mail and harvests e-mail addresses. Take a look at MarketingMasters.com. In this case, the "bad" Web site sells software which could be used to spam.
No, the software at MarketingMasters.com is useful for no other purpose except spamming. When you visit their web site, the first thing you are greeted with is an announcement:
Order ANY of our Bulk Email programs now and you'll receive 25 MILLION Fresh Email Addresses on the web for FREE.
To characterize MarketingMasters as anything other than 100% pure spamware is disingenuous in the extreme. The fact that Media3 continues to host this site is absolutely unacceptable.
The crucial difference between MAPS and various censorware vendors is that MAPS openly discloses all sites that it proposes to block. The censorware vendors claim that information as confidential and proprietary.
