Ryan Naraine: Security Watch.

The article discusses the problem caused by the Google-backed stopbadware.org project as it struck the RealNetworks RealPlayer media player with problems such as disclosure and uninstallation. According to the article, RealPlayer 10.5 is a badware because it exposes the installation of an advertising software on the user's computer as well as Real Player 11 due to its installation of Rhapsody Player Engine software. In addition, it states that computer users are now to avoid installing the aforementioned versions until it is updated.
