This type of hijacking is not related with affiliate IDs and how they are stored, neither with cookies. When a computer gets infected it has to contact hijacker's DNS to resolve each domain. Hijacking takes place before even reaching the domain itself. At any given time hijacker aside a paysite can target any domain and point it anywhere including your own free sites.


My suggestion is the adult industry needs a 3rd party operation that will offer a free scanner and removal tool daily updated that surfers will use. At the same time make available those updates to other antispyware companies. It has to be certified by an organization so surfers to be able to trust it. All adult webmasters then will have to link to that.
