The affiliate may not even know that his/her ad is showing via spyware. That's why I say it's important not to jump to conclusions too fast.

If you don't know how to interperet the data and find the real source, it's very easy to misinterpret what you find. I personally don't have the patience nor the technical knowledge to track all this stuff myself, that's why I rely heavily on affiliatefairplay for this.

I can see this needs to be done with care and appreciate the advice. Why do you not offer the service of checking sites/links and charge for it.

You need only report the facts as you find them to avoid legal proceedings.
