Let's face it, the number of users infected by these kinds of affiliate code changing trojans should be a not too small seven digit number and the question is no longer which sponsors are affected and which are not...it's which programs recognize it and take steps against it and which just sit there and don't care or don't recognize it, since overall sales won't change.

It's an industry wide problem and I'm happy Top Bucks steps up to fight it.

What really makes me mad is that most TGP owners ignore this problem because they don't care for their traffic quality, just for quantity and selling submitter accounts. All those sites made to infect users rank high for a broad variety for heavy traffic keywords in google and other searchengines and once surfers is infected, they are sent to TGPs to get fresh traffic to infect back.

It's millions stolen out of affiliate pockets every day in the industry, not just a few script kiddies making a few thousand a month !
