Sponsors have to be in a real pickle over this one.
If they terminate the accounts they suspect are spyware, then instead of the spyware replacing the affiliates code on the joinpage, the spyware people will just replace your join page with another programs join page, or replace it with a site of their own.
So if they do nothing they keep the traffic, but their affiliates get fucked.
If they terminate the accounts, they lose the traffic, and the affiliates still get fucked.
TGP and MGP owners need to post links to cleaner programs on their front pages and educate their surfers about this shit. That's the only real way to slow this down IMO.
