Yeah, I'm surprised at the number of adult webmasters who have no idea this scumware is out there.
For those of you who don't know, it basically works like an anti-virus program in that it scans source code before the browser displays it. Except this replaces affiliate codes with their own. It doesn't matter if you redirect sponsor traffic through another domain or hide it in a 1 second meta refresh.
Just a guess here, but I'm sure they likely target well-known sponsor programs instead of replacing all instances of "id=whatever" in the URL's since that usually doesn't involve affiliate codes.
