Item 7.01.		Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 23, 2011, comScore, Inc. (“comScore”) received notice that Mike Harris and Jeff Dunstan, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals, filed a lawsuit against comScore in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, alleging, among other things, violations by comScore of the Stored Communications Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act as well as unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, including statutory damages per violation and punitive damages, injunctive relief and reasonable attorneys’ fees of the plaintiffs. Based on an initial review of these claims, comScore believes that they are without merit. comScore intends to vigorously protect and defend itself.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which include those regarding the anticipated effects of the aforementioned litigation. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to: comScore may incur costs relating to its defense; comScore’s business may be harmed by a successful claim by the plaintiffs; and the effects of perceived concerns over spyware and privacy violations or perceived misuse of personal information on comScore’s ability to recruit panelists, which in turn could adversely affect comScore’s ability to provide its products. For a detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, please refer to comScore’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011 and from time to time other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s Web site ( http://www.sec.gov).
