StopBadware.org & FunWeb Products

The people behind StopBadware.org seem to have a connection to FunWeb Products. I happened across this while reading the latest from BillP, Bits From Bill whom for those not in the know, is the developer behind WinPatrol.

While investigating the description of an application in the WinPatrol PLUS database he found that one of the board members of the company behind FunWeb, IAC Interactive is also behind the Berkeley
