About the vendor
Scumware.org is a database tracking scumware, adware, spyware, and malware distribution networks. Their database documents domains and URLs associated with the distribution of unwanted or malicious software, and the data is used by security researchers and anti-malware tools. A Scumware.org listing associates your domain with the distribution of software that harms users.
A Scumware.org listing signals to security researchers and anti-malware products that your domain distributes unwanted or harmful software. This association can trigger secondary flags in other security tools and create persistent reputation damage in the anti-malware community.
