This is a thread from another BBS, I thought everyone might find this interesting.
Has anyone been experiencing weird popups lately, from sites that never had popups before? Like thehun or worldsex? I've just discovered a IE browser exploit/spyware that keeps a list of high traffic domains, and when you visit one of them, this exploit throws up a popup and closes the page you are trying to get to. Not every time you visit though.
So far the popups have been for wet4free and a site called greatplugin.com which has a blue background.
The company behind these fucking popups is Blackstone Data, scum bags! Here's their site
http://www.blackstonedata.com/ . On that site they have uninstall instructions at
http://www.blackstonedata.com/uninstall.htm . While you're there, take a look at their privacy policy, what a joke.
This little program can help detect and disable this shit:

Here's a usenet thread about it:

There's also BHO Cop, which I'm using as I don't want to remove this until I find a way to royally screw these fuckers. This let's me turn it off/on.

Also check for a file called domlst.cch in your c:\winnt\ (or c:\windows maybe for win98). This file has a list of all the domains that this shit will fuck you around on. They seem to track were you go, then add similar high traffic sites to the list. When you visit any of the domains, they steal that domain's traffic and make the user think the domain is the one with the popups. Then there's the scumbag companies who buy the traffic from these assholes. Voice Media Inc. (ntcor.com) seems to be one of them.
Can you tell that I'm pissed off? Popups everywhere are bad enough, but this is going *way* too far. Is this the future of the Net? More and more abuse? WTF? Gee, I wonder why conversions are the shits, and why people seek out the safe heaven of the top TGPs.
Here's a list of the adult domains that this "company" thinks they can steal traffic from, they have amazon.com, bn.com and other major ones also, but the list is way too big to post:

I would to know what software it would come bundled with? We should be getting after them as well for supporting this type of traffic stealing.
