    We've found a solid way to catch affiliates using spyware...

    to steal traffic and joins from other affiliates. And no, it has nothing to do with the referring urls...

    I believe that anyone using adware/spyware software to change a user's browsing experience, to take traffic or joins from other affiliates is a THIEF, and we will only support our honest webmasters.

                    Sounds like a cookie issue !

                    "We've found a solid way to catch affiliates using spyware..." YEA ???

                    Are you going to have a free spyware program for your associates ???

                    or perhaps you can point them to http://www.avast.com and tell them to use their fully functional FREE home version...

                    Later,

                                  What I have is like a club for a steering wheel; the car can still be stolen, but a thief may choose an easier target instead.

                                        How ironic that Bama started the fucking shit and then salutes anybody that tries to stop it.

                                        In my mind he is worse than the fucking lowlifes using it.

                                        Yeah Bama... you're a fuckin lowlife piece of shit.

                                                One might also think it's ironic that after all these years you still carry a hard-on for me. Let me look to see if I have a picture of me in a thong so you can jerk off to anytime you want in private

                                                Now how bout you be a good boy and give Steve his thread back!

                                                      Not yet, but when I do, it won't be private or pretty.

                                                          Now how bout you be a good boy and give Steve his thread back!
                                                          Sure I remember the name Bama, dry humping PK's leg in parachat 10 years ago, but you are fooling yourself if you believe that I gave any significant thought to you whatsoever before you come forward with the spyware shit a few months back.

                                                          Before that you were nothing more than vapor to me.

                                                          And yeah I should give Steve's thread back, but you're the fuckin flake that insults him just by being here. You are like the arsonist that sets a house on fire and then tries to look like a hero by calling the fire department. The other people here may not want to come forward and speak thier mind about the piece of shit that you are, but I've got no problems with it.

                                                          "oh yeah i created the shit, but i salute anybody that tries to stop yeah! Go baby!!" - you're a fuckin mental case

                                                            its nothing too hard, when an affiliate is sending traffic that has user agents that have 90% "ZANGO" it's pretty obvious. i implemented this for another sponsor some months back.

                                                              Good to hear you guys are sticking to the right side of the tracks instead of blindly chasing dollars like a few people here. I have a feeling it will pay off in the long run.
