 Yahoo China v. Beijing Sanjiwuxian Internet Technology

Yahoo China has won an unfair competition lawsuit in China brought against Beijing Sanjiwuxian Internet Technology, the company that operates Qihoo.com. According to the lawsuit  Qihoo's antivirus software called 360safe would tell users of Yahoo China's toolbar to uninstall the application, claiming it was malware. However, the court found that this was not the case. Beijing's Second Intermediate Court ordered Qihoo to compensate Yahoo China for unspecified damages and legal costs and to make a public announcement saying that Yahoo China's software is not malicious in nature.
