I just downloaded sites.txt, the latest banned sites update for adaware personal. (see download.com), get sites list from lavasoft.

I was fascinated to find many zdnet.com.com and zdnet.com sites on the list, (in among the x10's and sex sites) apparently installs adware without asking!

apple's website.

went to put quicktime player on a clent's xp machine.
no quicktime player download, without itunes.

malware practice of forcing unwanted software to be installed.

so I guess apple's website falls into the malware grouping also.
