I asked twice in this morning's thread about new cams.com banners, what steps Lensman was taking to prevent the hijacking of affiliates' traffic and again got no response. It seems almost ludicrous to ask affiliates to put an effort into promoting someone who is being targeted (whether passively or via their own involvement) by scumware.

Let's say I have an existing cams.com banner spot and the new banners are good enough to raise my click-throughs 10%. That would normally be an excellent result. But if thousands of new scumware installs are being done every day, it won't be long before that edge - and more - are wiped out.

And there is no incentive at all to swap out a promo for a "clean" sponsor for one who is a scumware target...
