Encourage sponsors to publicly commit to terminating any affiliates they find that are sending joins that can be shown to originate from malware.
Then, affiliates start voting with their feet (or, more precisely, with their traffic.) Support the sponsors who will commit to supporting you. If a sponsor won't commit to immediately terminating traffic from malware, simply find another sponsor.
I don't claim expertise in the straight side of the business, but it can't be that different... the sponsors all want traffic, the affiliates have the traffic, and if the affiliates band together, they are an enormously powerful force.
USE the power you have. Honest sponsors will thank you.

I agree but some of the biggest sponsors out there don't give a flying fuck about these issues

BTW, it is an Affiliate problem, but a sponsor can provide the solution. If you guys do nothing you still make the sale, we don't. It is a major problem for us. In the long run it will hurt you too though but to a lot of affiliate owners the " long run " is considered next week.
If affiliates start losing more and more money, their advertising will be less profitable to the point they lose money advertising, so they die out. Less affiliates generating traffic, less people for the trojans to steal from. Overall sales go down. Not to mention the type ins and the sponsors on advertising that they are geting screwed on too.
