Second call: Draft guidelines for public comment

Periodically, we update our Badware Guidelines to reflect what we have learned from the community and from our work. We have recently put together a draft of our new guidelines for software, and we’d like your feedback. Please let us know what you think in the comments.

In addition to any observations, corrections, or suggestions you have, we’re interested in a couple specific questions:

1. Do we adequately cover the issue of behavior that is/isn’t appropriate with automatic update features?
2. Is the “deceptive behavior” section overly broad, or does it accurately capture an element of badware that we were missing?

Thanks for your input!
