According to a report from PC World, the companies formed the Ads Integrity Alliance today, and they’ve also linked up with the Interactive Advertising Bureau in New York as a charter member. The group is powered by StopBadware, a nonprofit that aims to clean up the web ecosystem by ridding the Internet of problem websites.
