RE: Fake Sites

["Jeremiah Powell" <jdpowell () compgeo com>]

I don't know about you,

But if anyone has noticed, the bot for http://www.nameprotect.com has been
leaving ADs Apache access logfiles for sites that they visit.  They look for
'Intellectual' property violators with the NPBot. I am sure they will
happily take your money to hunt down website-squaters and trademark
infringers.

Subject: Fake Sites



Hi

Does any one know if there are a comercial product (like a robot) or a
Service Provider that can search for fake sites based on the similarity
with the original one ?

Additionally, what can i do to prove to the user of a site that the site he
is accessing is the original one, not a fake ? How can i prove the
authenticity of the site in a user friendly manner ?

Thanks
